  2. Silicon Carbide is arriving today. Going to mix up some test batches of some reduction glazes to experiment in oxydation chemically reduced! Lots of terrible glazes to come!

  3. So, my fella is awesome. He found a grippy turnstyle thingy at a thrift store and got it for me. It has little padded prongs to grip cup-like objects for decorating, so I don't have to hold it while I underglaze! ^_^

  6. After a month of conquering 4qt bowls, I'm finding myself much happier with 8 pounds of clay and just a 3qt bowl. Yes. That makes be about a 'quart low'...but we've known that for a while, right?

  7. Kona bound in a few days. Not ready to leave Molokai

  8. My wedding ring survived a batch of stoneware in the Peter Pugger...I always knew of my attraction to clay, but this takes it too far, methinks :)

  9. Mudtools Do All Trim Tool, where you have you been all my life? Loop tool, we've had a great run, and I promise I'll call you when I need to do some sculpting...

  10. I made a mug from 4 lbs of clay, mostly as a joke. One of the first things to sell...

  11. So, guess who literally found almost $100.00 worth of underglaze at a thrift store in a bag marked $5.00? And then won a $1.00 discount off of it? YEP; THIS guinea pig!! ^_^

      It was way up in Newport. :) David and I were in the mood to travel, so we went up north through Newport, then Sandpoint, then to CDA, then home. :) We found such treasures!!

  14. Expecting orders for more than 400 mugs in the next 5 days... Too much fun!

  15. Thinking about starting private lessons from inside my home. My health is crashing fast, and pottery is getting harder every day, but I have a lot of knowledge to share. :) I think I could take a couple students under my wing.

      Thanks, guys. These days, it's all that's too hard... I was crying the last glaze session I did. I'm just not sure where to go from here...

  17. That moment when the cone 10 glaze firing is well underway, you are cleaning up the glazing table, and suddenly there is an out-of-place container of low-fire glaze sitting in front of you...

  18. It's 1:00am, and I just finished glazing. Time for this tired creaky rodent to paaaass out!!

  19. I miss warm weather. Please come soon Summer Days! I much rather sweat than freeze while throwing pots.

      My joints are screaming, "AMEN, Brother!!" Washington has some soggy-arsed winters, and that's hard on us potters!

      We're having a "warm" day today (ha, 38F), and the two feet of snow we got this winter is turning into a slushy, muddy, slippery nightmare. The water is flowing down the streets in rivers... it's blech!!

  24. I just learned from one of my longtime clients that a bun of hers I made a portrait of passed last night. It always hits deep, hearing that. Through my art, I feel like I know them in spirit. :'( I guess I'm weird...
