I've enjoyed so much getting to see the process of many of you on Instagram! If you use it regularly, let me know what your account is and I'll stop by and say hi!

What's instantgram?

NCECA....maybe 2017, Maybe 2018
-
Evelyne, glad you made it home from the wild, wild west! No longer a need for the search party.

Gave my daughter the Starfish tray (in my gallery/smalls) for her birthday and she loved it - she's persnickety and likes "pretty", which is not my style at all, usually. So "mom did good"
-
First full day of NCECA with bus tours to galleries.
-
Were Airstreams built in Kansas? What's the connection b/n clay conferences and trailers? I lived in an Airstream in 1960 for à couple of years!!! I guess they'd make a nice pottery studio!

Did you all find inspiration at any of the galleries?

Enjoying the building excitement of waiting for the kiln to cool down.
-
We're waiting and waiting for pictures!

I've been sick for a week and I'm missing clay.
-
Take time to look at pottery books. Two of my favorites are German Stoneware pottery and preindustrial utensils. I also liked If These Pots Could Talk. See local library's for inner library loans.
Get rested up.

Hillbilly hosed off my clay clothes outside while pinned to my chain link fence today. I'm sure the neighbors were impressed.
-
Note to self, marry first, THEN hose off the girl!!!:-)

So, how was Hillbilly able to reach the hose while he was pinned to the fence? I'd be impressed too!

I have posted photos to my gallery of alternate firing techniques using a small electric NOVA kiln.

I remember when the Chevy Novas came out in the late 60s or early 70s. They were selling great in the US and Canada, but not so much in Latin America. No one knew why until someone informed them, that nova, translates to "no go"! Not good for a car!

That moment when the cone 10 glaze firing is well underway, you are cleaning up the glazing table, and suddenly there is an out-of-place container of low-fire glaze sitting in front of you...

an archaeologist friend of mine is currently working on the relocation of southeastern Indian tribes based on cerarefevidence. After the collapse of the chiefdom societies the tribes dispersed in all directions leaving a trail of ceramic debris. The timeline is from 1050 to 1700 CE!
-
That should read...based on ceramic evidence.

Love this kind of phone call: "You remember that big mixing bowl you made last year with the texture on it? I want one." *headspin*
-
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!"

Don't give up just yet! I paid someone to help, after reading the easy how to directions 4 times!!

I replaced the filters in my respirator this morning...and the old ones were just nasty, meaing I should have already done this months ago. This is a Potter/Public Service Annnouncement.
-
I sometimes wonder that after I'm cremated if the only thing left will be a glazed ceramic cast of my lungs.

-
Waiting for my kiln to cool down. It's like torture.
-
We are waiting with you..Babs is right to make more vessels. It makes the time seem shorter!
-
-
collected shells yesterday for the wood firing in Kansas pre-NCECA conference. There is an abundance down here so I offered to bring a bunch.
-
Just threw off the hump for the first time. Can't wait to get more clay to try a larger amount! A very exciting evening all round. :-D
-
Throwing off the hump isn't for me. I usually make knobs off the hump. The last time I made copies of 17th century tax accessor's ink wells with small handles on each side.
That worked pretty good.

-
I am going to have a lot of time to read while I wait in the coming months, anyone have any opinions on a few good pottery books, informative or inspirational or both?

Last day of retail today close at 4 pm and pack up booth and display . Only have 3 packages to ship after Xmas then 2015 is over clay wise

Back in the 80s I was the researcher for a amateur underwater salvage co. and ran across an article on à California shipwreck. It crashed into the rocks along the coast and was sinking. Someone went by the office to find the purser stuffing his pockets with gold coins from the safe. He told him hey, you can't swim with all that money! I know that, all my life I wanted to die rich...nows my chance!

SNOWWWW!!! Glorious SNOW!!!! Yes! I have SNOW!!!
About 4 inches of WONDERFUL SNOW!!!! -
Amy, you're welcome to my share of snow that falls my way!!!I've seen it a few times which satisfied any curiosity!
-
-
I'm determined to throw tomorrow no matter what! My son knows how to make peanut butter sandwiches, he can make lunch for both of us and feed me at the wheel!
-
I like Satsumas from LA. (Lower Alabama). Satsumas are tangerines but tangerines are NOT Satsumas! Make a list of what you plan to throw. Copy from an example. Use the example as a blueprint, to let you know what and when to do the next step.

-
Can I have a day off from everything? I want to just stay in my PJs and lounge around and do nothing useful for a WHOLE DAY.
-
Stay home one day and watch you tube videos, particularly in your fields of interest! Then report back to us.

-
My last show of the season just finished!!! Jammies: check. Slippers: check. Wine: check. And now to Neflix!
-
I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this pulled handles business!
-
Pulled handles are the best. I've seen handles thrown on à wheel, rolled on à table, and of course extruded. I'd rank them 1. Pulled, 2. Extruded, 3.rolled,4. Thrown.
