And there's no good way of saying "I'm sorry, I don't remember you from Adam."

I'll take the "do remember me..." over the "Hey, can I pitch a tent in yore driveway and look over your shoulder for 3 days whiles you makes and fire pottery...you won't even know I'm thar!"

I had someone who bought a raku dog figurine call two years after the Saale and ask why I made those (I do have a story and dutifully repeated it.)

Ooooooo.

I am OK...its just a little cold in the dog house

Maybe the air compressor can keep you warm. í ½í¸‰

Alabama, that's an epic thought. I guess I will order some replacements. Mine have been a while too Paul.

Don't make fun of possible health problems boys! Replace those filters and take care. We need you here!

Paul... new I was forgetting something. TY

*great

Its rained two feet in past 6 week here-enjoy your day

Just Enjoy that moment!!

I thought I was living large by having a coffee pot and mini frig. I have to up my game.

I tape, Nexflix, Hulu and HBO Go while I make clay and glaze. I never watched any TV before I got into pottery ....

I'm just waiting till I have a laundry sink and electric teapot and then I never have to leave the studio again!

Start already seems to look spectacular....putting yourself into the shoes of learner than instructor...

What is that old saying: new dog old tricks, old dog new tricks. Something like that.

Mark, I have been making ceramic musical instruments for some time now...these new ones include human/facial features. Think 'face jug' only it plays like a flute

Dude, Mark. You GOTTA look up this guy's ocarinas. They are freakin' sweet. Heck, ALL his work is!!

Wow, Paul, I just visited your webpage. Really cool. And I love your Biographical Sketch. Your work is excellent. I should have know. Your, Not In Kansas, is an architecture masterpiece. Left a comment.

Glad you had a good time in the Old World, Paul!

Ahh, sooo. Does LAndon = LOndon? Was wondering where you had been.

Around here if someone is going to LA it means lower Alabama..

Mobile/Fairhope area. :-)

Thanks, All! Your sentiments are much appreciated.

-Paul

Love and support to you and her family.

Oh that's so awful... I'm so sorry, Paul. Such an unnecessary tragedy!! :'(

A process man am I and I'm tellin you no lie..

I'm not that old and I know those ones.

... at least you have a pug mill Paul... I dont :-(

You Da Man! woot woot!

Make a bigger cup.

Bwahaha! Thanks Mark, I needed that

yea me too.. My winter pictures are really bad due to lighting.. I take alot of outdoor pictures from spring to fall.. they turn out much better.. so ill jump on the photo routine bus as well..

Mea has a great description of her photo booth setup on her blog. Very simple and her photos are very effective.

Distract yourself with fireworks!

I know what you mean about waiting. I came in the kiln room at the college to find the cart with the plywood backing all charred. What happened? Uh, I think we opened the kiln too soon. The dept head and assistant were a little eager to see how the new glazes turned out!!!

clay is my bill paying job!

Mark, my eyes are turning green.

Hello there! Am back at my home in SA after visiting my hubby and son in Slovakia..... Talk about something disrupting your claywork!! Wish we can get a stable home environment now so I can get our lives back on track. So in the meantime I just smile and do what I can when I can.

It like looking inside an empty canvas tent, when it appears larger inside than the outside.

Hmmm ... My kilns are looking smaller as my stream of consciousness project gets wildly bigger and bigger ... Cannot fire as we are currently in a heat wave. And now may have to re load these kilns to fit it all in.

I think I saw Bugs Bunny do something like dat. That crazy rabbit.

What do you use the respirator for; glaze mixing, clay mixing, cleaning, all the above?

Ben, definitely when mixing glazes, clay, or sanding bisque...hadn't considered cleaning since I use a wet/sponge/mop process.

I wear my mask when I am cleaning. I usually start with my garage studio with a shopvac with a HEPA filter. I open my garage door all the way, and shop vac all the floor around my wheel and work shelve. Then I go back and wet mop the floor.

Thats good-I threw some pots yesderday and put them in sun trimmed them and then loaded them into a bisque fire (gas kiln)-I'm slowly firing now aftera slow candle overnight.

I fired a fountain last Dec. each half of it filled my Skutt 1027. We took the kiln apart and built the kiln around it. Had to do that 4 times. Never again.

Does this one pot happen to be a Tornado? Please tell me you appeased the kiln gods before hitting the "start" button.

Mark - It is important for the male buckets to learn how to keep their lids down

Giselle - Bucket "tough love"...I'm making a note of that right now! LOL

Well, in the Harry Potter movies, there is a pan that scrubs itself. We just have to learn the basics of that, and transfer it to glaze mixing...

I've done that with paintbrushes a few times...

Bwaahaahaaaahaaa!! Thank you Paul! You really gave me a good giggle there, cuz, yeah, I've done that too....only it was TEA! LOL!

Hilarious Paul! Dip your croissant in the coffee instead of the sponge!

Cheese is always very good for vivid dreams

Downdraft tables

Pizza does it every time.
