JohnnyK reacted to preeta in Hey! Welcome back, Preeta! I missed your contributions. What are you up to now?
Awww thank you guys. Just have had a lot going on. Mainly my teenage daughter's medical issues. Just trying to find answers which we are close to finally after suffering for 5 years.
Taking a principals of cooking class (3 hours straight standing and cooking. I loved every minute of it but it was only on the way back home the exhaustion would hit me) , starting a garden at a community plot plus working more.
I've taken all the community college classes in clay so now I volunteer to keep using the lab. So I have had no free time. Plus i really got into researching the political world. I had to leave that now because it got too depressing (But thanks to Vaclav Havel i havent lost hope) and so I'm back here.
Clay is my first love and you guys are a great bunch to hang out with. I've missed the clay talk. So I've come home.
I love this sense of community. I found that in culinary and gardening as well as clay.
Eeh one day I'll have the guts to post pictures of my work. I've got the form to where I like it but now am working on the skin I'd like to complete my work. I love our gas kiln. I've also finally accepted who I am as a potter. Which influence I want to show more. My political research helped me with that. I was grateful to find my voice of protest through my pottery. Now finally as a potter I am at peace.

Hey--don't knock it. Having a money job to fuel and support your dream job is smart--creativity put into practice throughout your endeavors. Add business card/letter holders--people love them as gifts for people who have a desk at work or for their retail store card at the cash register. Trust me on this!

Are you going to be making your own molds too, or just getting a feel for the process? Have fun either way!

JohnnyK reacted to Gabby in Big weekend coming up as my trio of Horsehair Raku jars goes on the auction block at
When my work is good enough, I hope to contribute it to auctions, not at the level of a PBS station but more of a local non-profit. I am so glad when I hear that people whose work can really make a difference choose to donate it in this way.

Thank you, Tam, for reminding us that a newbie to the Forums is not, necessarily a newbie to the world of ceramics. I visited your website...some interesting wares.
