When I am testing new glazes I progress from standing test tiles, placed over a tray the first time to small bowls before proceeding to use the glaze on anything of great value. Not only do you need glaze information on how it will react vertically, horizontally, where it breaks, but also where it pools.

You have so much artistic talent. The pose of the cat and anatomy is spot on. Very impressive. -

Ack, you on the east coast? In eastern Washington here... 40s and RAIN! You'd think Seattle moved over here!

It is so cold that hitchhikers are holding up pictures of thumbs!
So cold that Starbucks is serving coffee on a stick!

Been raining, 40's to 60's. Friday, might be in the 70's. So not to bad. Firing help keep the studio warm.
Good ones Paul. LOL.

My first pottery class, at a local college, was terrible. The class I'm taking now is so much better. In the first class the teacher offered very little instruction and minimal demonstrations. The class I'm taking now, beginning throwing, the teacher has a set schedule. Starts with cylinders, next bowls, etc.. She does several demos in each class. She also repeats, repeats, repeats instructions. The class is all adult, many older. I for one need the repeated instructions. My throwing has improved immensely after just the first two classes. She also allows room for experimentation and creativity. But this is a teacher who can teach good basics. Others in the class must like her. Most of the students are repeats. -chantay
