    Raku, is our main interest but high fire isn't out of our spectrum.. We also enjoy oil painting and being creative when ever possible.. We love a good fire while setting outside on the porch under the massive Maple tree that shades our back yard,house and shed..

    We are newbies at clay although we have dabbled in it off and on in the past.. We keep coming back to it, something just draws us in deeper and deeper.. < Maybe a Earthly connection that is growing stronger and making our bond to each other stronger as well..

      those spray guns are great. Just like Geil's. The HVLP unit I got previously was a gun made for the compressor. Basically for paint.

    and also cut a hole for air to release so your pretty pot don't crack open while drying... I been practicing this style, hmmm whats his name Van Gilder or something like that? I love this one, my Fav... Very good job, how much practice did it take you before it happened? I have tried 2 times so far, both after work and dead tired. hey I tried though LOL, went a tad to deep on 1 and pop goes the weasel... on the second I had it but forgot to make a release hole and slept for 12 hrs and it cracked lol...
