    In the late 60's my ceramics class did a Japanese Raku tea ceremony.   We didn't have a charcoal fire,  we used a small kiln.   The cups were made by hand with Raku clay just as they were in the ceremony in the 1500's.  They were taken out of the kiln red hot.   They sat and cooled down  to the point they could be dunked in  a bucket of water.  We didn't glaze them with a lead  glaze like the original ceremony.  They all survived even though everything was rushed,  it was only a hour class.  Denice

    Still to cold to work in my studio,  by the time I got it warmed up the day would be over.   Our second cold blast in the last three weeks.  This one is colder but shorter, it suppose to get up to freezing temp by Sunday.   Denice

    Thought I would let you know I found a doctor in my town,  only one doctor in a town of half of million that does SRT-IG radiation treatment.   All the other doctors want to slice open a flap and then do facial repair later.   I am to old for that and I don't heal well.  Insurance won't cover it but we can afford to pay for it.  Right now stuck at home too cold and icy to go out,  it is suppose to get down to -3 later this week.  Denice

    Summer is ending and fall is on it's way.   Great weather to work out in the studio.  Finished remodeling the house a couple of weeks ago.  My sister from Sacramento  left today  after staying for a week.  Resting for a couple of days I am heading back to the studio.  Denice

    We had our computer bite the dust on our trip to Galveston TX,  we paid the computer tech  $100 to unload our old files to the new one.   I had all of my glaze formulas printed out and in a binder in my studio,  my husband hadn't saved anything.    Denice

    Ordered a new LL kiln today from  Neil.   He helped me decide  on the model that would work for me in my elderly years.   Great service and price.   Now I have to sell my old kilns and wait.      Denice

    Ordered a new Paragon XL Caldera test kiln today.  My old kiln needs new elements again.   I need to have a controller on it to get accurate test firings.  By the time I have it rewired and add a controller I would have the price of a new kiln.  It will be the end of Sept.  when it shows up.   Already have a list of tests  piling up in my head.     Denice

    Love your work,  I also make outdoor murals,  I have been using C5/6 clay lately.   I was wondering what temperature of clay you use and glazes.   I am laying out and working on the design with the tile lines on a landscape mural  right now.  This mural is bas relief like my last two murals.    Denice

    Just thought I would let everyone know that I am still alive.   We had a tornado across the street from us last night.  It was turning east so it missed us but it did a lot of damage to a small town a mile from us.  Denice

    It's official, and medical mystery solved.  I have Addison's disease.  So an end to 30 years of declining functioning and having my issues foisted off on alleged "mental problems".  Too late to rescue any of my multiple careers - but at least I still have enough life left, and now the energy, to spend lotsa time playing in the mud!

    Welcome Home! Turns out I have been here all along! I've been reading posts here forever, but feel it's past time for me to contribute. I love all things clay, especially the wonderful people I have met as a result of my passion for pottery.  Out of retirement from a nearly 15 year hiatus I am setting up my 'retirement pottery'.  Formerly (2002-2008) I owned Rare Earth Pottery in Stuart, FL. Prior to that I was introduced to clay in 1984 while attending Knox College in Galesburg, IL where I studied under Mr. Henry Joe.  Now with the creative energy and passion of my partner, Miz Rivka, we will be collaborating on clay creations from Tin Shed Pottery.  https://www.facebook.com/salmon.dave.del.rio

    I hope you find a good job,  I have looked at two different pottery jobs in the past.  One paid by the piece,  it was mostly slab work.   The other was a job to make slip mold originals.  Neither of them paid a living wage  and required a lot of driving.   We don't have very many pottery factories in Kansas.  I am sure with all of the potteries in Stoke-on Trent you will find the perfect job.    Good luck.    Denice

    I am so happy with my work! I never thought I would say that this early in my career. Although I am still testing new glazes and new techniques. The majority of my kiln loads are finally being made to sell. How cool is that! Toot Toot!
