Frozen clay and fish in the kiln

It froze last night, so when I checked on my new batch of "organic" clay, I found some puddles on top and some interesting patterns from having froze overnight. This will actually help in the drying of the clay. I sopped up some of the water with a sponge and took a few pictures of the clay in the morning sun. I'm not sure I'll be able to get this batch of clay thrown into pots and fired for the Celebration of Seagrove Potters, but if not, then soon after. I've got a piece thrown from local clay in the kiln now with a couple of new glazes to try on the clay. I'm firing a collaborative platter in the kiln also. It's a large platter with mangrove trees stamped around the outer portion and Bruce Gholson's fossil fish in the middle.
