I am back from my January trip ... if you would like to see images of my trip, follow this link ... http://www.ccpottery.com/tanzania-serengeti-safari--.html

Had a week solo as my husband went to a Physics conference at the Aspen Center for Physics. I had a few issues with technical things around the house but all is well now and he is back home.

ooh I'm an advanced member now. What does that mean? Do I get a special t-shirt?

MIXED MY FIRST GLAZE TODAY! EVER!

So I got busy and made three sinks for a house I am renovating. This past week I loaded them up and bisque fired them. One of the three survived the bisque firing. The good thing is I know how to efficiently make two more. Must allow more drying time for 1/2 inch thick ware this time..

great day in the studio with experiments in textured throwing.

Just so you know... a sharpened needle tool, when knocked off a countertop, can put a hole in one's foot. No need to try this for yourself, trust me

taking down my show today. Preparing for a festive Thursday. And planning some experiments in the studio.

Finally, after many ,many practice sessons , I finally threw a big bowl that looks like it should.. weight is between 12 to 14 lbs with a diameter of 17.5'' ... practice is paying off

Gone to Cuba for a week.

I am glaze depressed. I can't find any commercial glazes I like, and I can't seem to find a simple glaze to mix on my own = (.

Good results on our last glaze firing- Porcelain makes glazes come to life, very vivid color.. we even made some slip to test it on other clay bodies, results were just like the body itself.

I just received my first, ever, shipment of Mizzou Castable...in no small part because I just like to say "Refractory". First project - peephole plugs. Wish me luck!

Happy Thanksgiving! I count my friends here on the forum as something to be 'thankful for'.

Belts on my wheel broke while throwing. Ordered replacements. Second repair job on my 16 years old wheel. Then my clay supplier has had the phones disconnected. Next closest place is Austin 340 miles away.

In the 70s today so I am dropping all my computer jobs to head to the garage to throw some colored clay

today will ship pieces, reorganize studio and throw new pieces.

Wouldn't it be fun to invite a bunch of friends over to wedge clay --- said no one, ever Did I mention free beer??
