Wish I had some artistic ability: just not there. I can appreciate the cleverness in the piece: but I can admire even more the technical skills required to make it. So fess up, what kind of clay can hold that shape when forming?

The clay I used is just Laguna soldate 60, it is a few years old and has gotten a bit more plastic. I think it throws pretty good and is easy to pull handles with.

When I first centered the clay I intended to throw some cups off the mound, but when I started was just in the mood to do something else...

Wow, so wonderful. Can I borrow a cup of creativity, I'm all out. This is very good. 

Creative spirit ebbs and flows... I have spent the last 6 months traveling back and forth to the high Sierra prospecting for gold, giving clay a break. Other times if I'm in a rut I will just throw forms and not even focus on the glaze, pieces sometimes move to the garden unglazed as decorations.
