Still looking for a production potter, had my latest no show for work today... Wondering why so many people love clay, but don't seem to like working with it professionally?

I have to re-throw a series of spoon rests for a housing development this morning. I threw them in white stoneware, turned my head to look at this mug on the shelf. It was the mug the customer pointed at for glaze selection. How did I get that irony green rim? Duh! Hazelnut brown clay... 24 hazelnut brown spoon rests coming up!

I like them both... The hazelnut is 211, a bit darker than 112 and no specs. 266 is almost black, very reactive. We us 266 for flower pots. The 211 we're doing a line of "Farm House" dinnerware. With a Tin Ox glaze. These were sort of freaks. This guy walked in and saw this mug that was left out and loved it because the colors matched their corporate colors perfectly. So, Elizabeth sold the glaze-which is exactly what she was suppose to do. No biggie, I have the almost all done no...

Good Bye Brooklyn Red... My hands are chafed all to heck...

Has a good bit of tooth... Also, produces a good bit of slip, but remains rather firm while throwing. It took a lot of muscle to move it while throwing plates. The slip seems to go everywhere... I had to mop the floor twice to get rid of the red haze from the splatter. My hands looked like a corpse and had a red tint for 48 hours. My wife said my hands were so rough after only throwing a single bag. Oddly, the clay dries with a wonderful feel that made me want to play with it some more... Goi...
