      Watched the bowl and the mug videos. Just now learning about throwing. Post more if you got them, be glad to watch. Will never make a mug however, my hands are too big.

      Great video Matthew! Nerd, I made a small tea set for my daughter, so it's not hard to make small things. And if all else fails, just make big mugs!

  1. I got a used Venco (Australian made) vacuum pugmill. Just like the one I never used in Wellington because of pottery politcs... :-)

      Pottery politics? Tell me that art is not influenced by power?

  2. 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.

      Ohhhh NUUUUUU, geez! That's so lame! D: Sorry, buddy!

  3. I made a mug from 4 lbs of clay, mostly as a joke. One of the first things to sell...

      I did that today. A nice lady on Etsy requested a 24oz coffee cup. It might be a little bigger. But she said she loves coffee that much and more. hehe

      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.

  6. 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.
