    Nelly;

    I'd like to see some images of your new Majolica when it comes out. Any chance?

    Tom.

  2. Dear Tom,

    I just got a message from TRJ letting me know about your question. No, I was not in Toronto at the OOAK. I am a university teacher and do my pots as a hobby. Someday?? Right now, most of my stuff goes to charity benefit sales. Was it a big show?? You should write on the blog about it. It is amazing the level of talent at that show.

  3. Dear All, When I started taking classes we began with the pinch pot and progressed to trying slabs and the wheel. After many classes I found I just like the open studio format. I liked to experiment on my own to see what the clay could do on my own in those three hours. I think adults will tell you what they need from the instructor. Most classes I have taken have had some demonstration time included. It was up to the student to decide if they wanted to try this or just continue with their own little projects. For me, I like the open studio concept. But this of course was after taking many instruction based classes and familiarity with the materials and technique of clay working (i.e., how to join seams, slipping and scoring, not making totally solid forms, proper glaze application, coiling near places of vulnerability, avoiding too much water on the form etc.). One class I really liked included an opportunity to try a variety of clays including stoneware, porcelain, and terra cotta. This provided great variety and an opportunity to really get to see how different clays do different things. Nelly Nelly
