Then each mold had to be meticulousy cleaned and placed on the shelf where it could dry. Once the process was started, you couldn't quit until everything was done. It was hard work but very satisfying and profitable. Suzie handled the customers that came in during the day as well as pouring and cleaning a lot of ceramics herself. This was in addition to taking care of the kids and me, cooking, cleaning, etc. It was a lot of work for both of us but it was, above all else, fun.
