Camping, kayaking, family, travel, Art in general. I have a small studio in my garage. Two electric kilns, two wheels, wedging table etc. I am primarily interested in cone 6 Ox. but like to see what is going on at all ranges. Read about ceramics voraciously and love the feel of the clay and throwing. Have to admit that my greatest joy is in the making, not the glazing. That said I do mix my own glazes, some of my own formulas, some borrowed. Retired from teaching art, in 2009 after 36 years, taught ceramics 34 of those years.
87F. Yesterday.. . . weather is nice, and presently I do not need it! Next week when I get back from GA I have more chalices and patens to do, and some funerary urns to do. Working on cleanup and try working with the white clay.
I heard your area was having some high heat, we have had stormy weather for several days. It is moving out and it is going to get hot. What white clay are you working with? I am always looking for a clay that fires white at C6, strong but doesn't feel like cream cheese like B-mix. Denice
