Taught an Obvara workshop today. We made pieces for the firing. I have more students on Sat. Then we fire the following week. Will post some pictures.

having an inspirational time in the studio with my resident mates Darien Johnson from Denmark, and Linda Lietuviete from Latvia. wE are hanging out together as well and went to the largest flea market in Rome yesterday.

Lucky you!! Cannot wait to see where this adventure takes you to.

I was just offered 50/50 consignment, I pay shipping both ways, they don't believe in signed agreements and I have the feeling loses and theft will also come out of my pocket. Hmmm ...NO

Thanks John! Good advice ... HA!
I had forgotten how arrogant a Gallery could be ... Sadly, from what I see on their website, their shelves are full.

I just got back from 3 days/2 nights of free studio time from the Mendocino Art Center (CA). I've sold in their gallery and taken many workshops there and they heard about the loss of my house/studio, so they offered me this wonderful gift. It was the first time since the fire that I've worked with clay and it felt fabulous!! Someone was firing a ^6 kiln and was able to fit a few of my shards in, and they refired beautifully, so I'll refire a lot of my other shards so I...

Great news!

Has anyone ever had shoulder problems from throwing? Like bursitis or rotator cuff issues? My buddy tore the crap out of his making macho-pottery & needed surgery. Mine are KILLIN'. I wanna throw! ;.;

You are SO TALENTED so you need to take care of YOU!! If you want the longest career possible you have got to take care of the equipment! You are hurting too many parts of your body.

Studio Tour is tomorrow and I wasn't even nervous till about an hour ago, when suddenly "Who am I kidding?" popped into my head. All I can see is the mistakes and the simple beginner's shapes and I just want to call the whole thing off!!
-
Nervous is good ... can you imagine the size of ego you would need to have not to be nervous?? You will do great and it will be fun ... Honest!

All right, day before surgery. I will not be online much in the next few days. Will come back though as good as new...

Even though it is once in a lifetime for you, your surgeon does this every day! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I finally got around to making an underglaze key today! Shoulda made one ages ago, honestly. With my shiny clear, what you see is NOT what you get!
-
As long as you know what gonna happen, you can control outcome. Just don't trust it with green! :-)

Gerstley is the worst culprit in my opinion. It does all of the above to color and also causes bleeding of colors. Find a zinc free recipe and your colors will get better immediately.

Zinc Free clear works best for color ... most of the others cause changes especially turning greens to brown and burning out pinks and violet.

My house/studio was burned to the ground in the Valley Fire that started very close to my home. Our street was the first to go and my area is totally destroyed. 75% of the homes in my little town are gone. I had over 300 pots ready for fairs and of course, all the pottery we use daily. I’m devastated. I’m hoping I’ll be able to recover some pots that didn’t break/melt, and maybe my kilns? Wheel? The evacuation order hasn’t been lifted yet. With the shards I’ll make a big mosaic wall when we...

So sorry to hear this ... I agree with calling on CERF to help you recover. Keep us posted in case there in any way we can help.

Homecoming Week at school, which means dress up days for students and staff. I did a wheel throwing demo today dressed as Mr. moneybags from Monopoly.

Pictures? Would love to see a rich potter.

FINALLY posted my three gallery-bound pieces for the charity event! I'd really like some feedback, pleeez. :3 (Sorry about the sucky photos, hnngh...)

If they don't sell. Submit them for the Potters Council juried show.

Success! My first glaze firing in my own kiln came out perfect. Yay!
-
Great! Nice way to start.

Gearing up for a busy Fall. Workshops coming in Sept. Travel with my husband in October, and Rome residency in Nov and Dec. Must ship things this week, do last minute preps for workshops, and finished up some pieces.
-
Rome at Christmas sounds like a nice reward for your busy schedule. Enjoy!

Has anyone ever been to this site. They have plenty of free info. http://www.artsbusinessinstitute.org/

Their weekend arts business seminars are excellent.

Red letter day yesterday. 25 days from having my knee replaced I was able to go into the studio and throw for a few hours. I'm becoming human again!
-
Then you must have timed it right! Good times ahead.

Yay, I went to my first craft market today. My wife and I had a great time. There was only about 15 vendors, but I was the only potter. I sold almost everything and even got some commissions. I want to thank you all, for your kindness, acceptance and support. Along with all your great advice I was able to feel confident that I could do this. It wasn't about the money, but it was ok, but just knowing that I have friendships that care about me, makes me a millionair. I couldn't have don...

Congratulations! I have been able to keep my carpal pain low by switching what I am doing often ... As long as I don't do the same motion over and over it seems to stay away.

Did you suffer for it today? :-)

Exciting day today. The electrician finished wiring my 220 line out to the garage AND I ordered a kiln!
-
Good for you! Fun times ahead.

Car is packed and ready to drive to Touchstone tomorrow to get set up for my workshop. It promises to be about ten degrees cooler there!
-
Thanks ... I have a nice number of students so it will be fun.

It's been wet, hot and humid here lately. And very little wind to cool down with. I got my fan and an exhaust ceiling fan going and it still get around 90 degrees. But I plan to make some more mugs and fire a small load starting tomorrow evening. When it is cooler. How's your weather?
-
HOT .. Humid ... Around 98 all week ... No firings here!
-
-
Still glazing...the more I glaze, the larger the kiln seems to get as I load it. Whazupwidat?
-
Hmmm ... My kilns are looking smaller as my stream of consciousness project gets wildly bigger and bigger ... Cannot fire as we are currently in a heat wave. And now may have to re load these kilns to fit it all in.

Posted some Gallery pics from my recent single fire-I am sold on that method, at least for some things!

Off to Ireland! See you later.

Sitting at the airport ......
