Saturday night at closing time, I paused as we left Freyjas Fortress and took a moment to enjoy the wood smoke, the falling snow, the distant conversations around the fire, and of course the drunken sea shanties.
We hope to see y'all again next year!

All set up at the Nordic Fire festival in Charlotte, MI! We actually had more ceramics than we had room for this time.
If you're in the area we hope you can come out and see us! We are in Freyjas Fortress.

Ever have pots explode in your hands while unloading? No fun. Sheltowee clay fired to a clean cone 5 @ med speed. The only ones that weren't already blown up or blew up in my hands were ones WITHOUT Amaco Shino on the inside. The outsides were not glazed. 8 pots destroyed our of a dozen.

Another fantastic year at Clayshire Castle. We had lots of fun vending our wares and performing for patrons and look forward to doing it again next year - hopefully it will be a little cooler next time!

Also wax resist handles can work great but for larger and longer handles you probably should do at least a 1hr preheat/candle. Had a few large steins with handles longer than 8" blow up in a bisque fire on the handles when I waxed them. Ceramics can only be pushed so far!
Wait until the ware is bone dry and then apply slip to any cracks that might appear on the handles during the drying process. Smooth out with small brush. We use a home made drying cabinet and our wares are usually ready for bisque in 24 hours or 32 for wares more than 2.5lbs (wet clay wght).
Hope everyone had fun this weekend at the Michiana Ren Faire! Today's weather was simply the best.
Next event is the Bloomington, IN Witch Fest hosted by Gather + oak September 20, 2025.
