So I had a bag of grit spill on the porch, I cleaned up most of it turns out my cats, one is named shino, likes the fine grit dirt bath... I let them out in backyard today, when I called them in, yes they come when called, they had some gray dust on them ....Well they found the spot where I had spilled some Alberta slip..... high class kitties..... regular dirt is no longer good enough.....

well after crashing some mugs and reading about productivity, yesterday while studio sitting threw 7 mugs with handles (for the record ihave made kept less than a dozen handles, me no like) about 10 trinket dishes, and 2 medium plates. looking at others' shelves i was productive.... (but not at production potter level)
-
I don't know how long you've been at this but don't compare yourself to high production potters.
-
Whenever I do that I feel like a huge failure but the truth is I don't enjoy that kind of work anyway. I like working in batches of 2-6.

Hope that came across as encouraging, not rude. Was meant to be encouraging.

Hi, haven't made in awhile buts yes still making, never used mark and daves .... Who makes that.... It's been about a year since throwing porcelain, I had it figured out second day....clay was too wet day one. And it took a day for "it" to click....... I'm throwing a modified Cushing/Galloway body.

I like the wiggle wire bottoms. I'm usually all for a trimmed foot, but I do like that alternative. Looks like you will be busy glazin'.

Clear, oatmeal rust, shino with shino rio splash, falls creek shino, vc71 / crimson, VC 71/BOB, vc71/ fcs under randys red/ vc71/ local,ash glaze, local,ash glaze, / seaworld, / ice blue, / bob 2. I was shooting for 100 cups for a trunk show given just under a months notice. I thnk I'm shy of 80.. I realiize I'm no production potter. 20 cups max per,sitting was all I could muster. The wiggle wire while I like was subconcious decision not to trim.then I limited the number do cup...

You must have hands like leather to throw with the granite chunks. Nice work!

Wasn't to bad, surprisingly. The cleaning and sanding has my hands raw.

blown away! Just so nice.

Very nice. I was going to ask what kind of clay you were using, but I forgot, you have your own "Brand"...
-
Actually this one laguna 900
One of the few I buy, and performs superb in wood fire plain, and the first high fire shino I tested
. Yes all those were right it is hard work making clay.
-
I have no doubt it is. I'll leave the clay mixing up to someone else. Reclaiming is as close as I want to get...
