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. :-)

Doing some re-arrangeing in the university studio...adding a mini-gallery for advanced clay students (approx. 4'x5' area).

I could definitely love my coffee in this mug! Nicely done!! -
Pretty bummed at the moment. I just found out that Jillian Johnson, one of the casualties in the Louisiannna theater shooting, was a Design Major my first year here at Belmont U.

Love and support to you and her family.

Oh that's so awful... I'm so sorry, Paul. Such an unnecessary tragedy!! :'(
-
Whew! This muggy-sauna weather has slowed me to grinding halt...but I am catching up on all those nagging, non-production, clay-related activities
-
1500 pounds of clay..mixed, pugged, de-aired, and packaged for 'mellowing'. Sing it with me: "You load 16 tons and whadaya get, another day older and deeper in debt..." (yep, I just told my age again).

The Wicked Witch is Dead - Tornado Pot
ChenowethArts commented on ChenowethArts's gallery image in Browse Member Galleries
I think this will have to fall into the 'art' category. Making several of these (or version thereof) is not on the radar right now. I may change my mind if the piece is well received in the gallery...they certainly are not expecting something like this from me And thanks so much for the kind words!, -Paul -
Mark (Marko) Madrazo, the two on the right are mine...the one in the middle is one of my morning 'regulars'. The one on the right is very new and I am struggling with whether or not I want to sell the 50+ that I have...'just not happy with them. The one on the left is Haviland Limoge porcelain from my grandmother's china. -
Clay mixing time...every time I do this, I feel a little 'groggy'. 'Sorry, that's the best I can do on one cup of coffee

Thanks Mark! -
Trying my best to make photography part of a regular routine rather than "that thing you do at the last minute"...#OldDog #NewTrick
-
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.

The Fujita scale is a measure of a tornado's intensity based upon the amount of destruction it causes...or how much it eats. Having experienced the destruction, first hand, of an F2 glancing off my home, it wasn't difficult to put a face on the monster that caused destruction in my neighborhood. Only now, new things grow from where the damage occured...thus a container for a plant with the form of the dark cloud of demolition impressed into the side.© Copyright 2015 - Paul M.

The Wicked Witch Is Dead This project was created as part of the Ceramic Arts Community forum: Community Challenge #2. The tornado implies form is the actual container intended for a plant. The entire work was thrown in three parts: the base/bowl, an angle tube/pipe, and the larger container. The small building and leg appendages were hand formed and attached prior to bisque firing. Finished height of the glazed piece is approximately 17".- 10 comments

Bailey reached Cone 10 around 8:30 last night...now, the wait. 'Trying NOT to be in "are we there yet?" mode.
-
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!!!

Looks like I'll be celebrating the 4th Holiday with the Bailey's red glare, fumes exhausting in air, and proof in the night that my pots are still there...

My 'bill paying job' is seriously cutting into my clay-related activity...of all the nerve! *grin*

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.

Still glazing...the more I glaze, the larger the kiln seems to get as I load it. Whazupwidat?

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.
-
I get it. Very clever and nicely executed. -Paul -
Mark, I think you will find that the vast majority will see this as a social statement on which they will either agree or disagree. I seriously doubt that the "cruelty free" commentary would be considered "offensive", but I wouldn't expect everyone who eats meat to suddenly agree that "eating meat" and "cruelty" are one in the same. I do believe you have found a real niche that has a lot of potential! Nice work. -Paul -

For those who have been following along with the drama of making "F3 - The Wizard of Oz" tornado container, this second version survived the bisque firing and awaits detailing with underglaze and glazing...hopefully, a single glaze firing and perhaps a single decal firing.

Changed the filter on my respirator and tapped out some of the dust that was captured..'pretty scary that some people just don't "get it".

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.

First time to load one pot that fills my home studio electric kiln...a lot of eggs in one basket, for real

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.
