      Just pawns, each one seeking glory.

      Soldiers will always be lost in the glaze battle.

  3. It was well thought out. The only thing on wheels is the plaster for reclaiming clay. Everything flows. All it needs is another 1000 sq ft (which would double the space!) :-) Oh, an more windows. There is only one that faces south. And more sinks. And... ah... it is a good home and I am happy with the space.

    Work spaces are important too!
  5. I had a relay fail after 72 firings. Sigh, I had put off getting spare parts to my next order.

      I had to do this also. I also found out that Paragon will no longer stock parts for my Duncan kiln. I got extra parts. Expense I could do without at this time. Best wishes.

    They would also be magical with the right crystal glaze...
  7. A continuation that arose from Challenge #6

    It is somewhat mono-chromatic. They are just one glaze poured over. They are all the same glaze. The depth of color and variations don't come out in photographs. Some are greener, some more black, and some more deep rutile blue. This group didn't really fit in my converted Brent wheel light box...

  10. The easy way to get beautiful pottery is to buy it from someone else.

      Easy but not challenging. I have discovered that needing to be challenged all of the time is a character flaw of mine.

      I was wondering where the other contestants list was. I dont have any idea what was going on. I just saw vote and pressed it, then was told I wasn't a citizen. Which really erks me that they expect everyone to have facebook. I am a tech junky, worked in that industry for years, and I never had a facebook and never plan to. I agree with the payout though, who knows worth the 10 minutes to set it up though if you win!

      Matthew: enjoyed watching you work. Interesting how every thrower uses their fingers, palms, side of their hands to pull, form, and shape. Almost like a throwers fingerprint.

      Very nice bowls. I love the line decorations. It reminds me of Fundació Joan Miró.
