IN LOVE WITH Highwater's P5 Porcelain. By far the best clay I have ever thrown.

I was showing a lady my son's soda fired work at the pop-up market yesterday. She seemed truly interested. Then she asked, "Coke, or Pepsi?" It took me a second before I cracked up

At some point in the day I will throw some cups! Yes, it's going to happen!

Finished a long day of working a holiday pop-up market... this may be what clay feels like as it is slammed against a wedging table.

Making some jars as gifts, but couldn't work on them the last couple nights, and I have Parent/ Teacher Conferences tomorrow. So it's like caring for plants. I water them, so they don't dry out, otherwise, they just sit there...

What are good websites to order ceramic supplies from? Which tend to have cheaper prices?

I think I've found a rhythym in throwing... 5 cups / cylinders .... Then do something else (like mess aroundd here) then repeat. This as production potter as am going to get.....

Crossing my fingers for a good glaze tile somewhere in the kiln. Been trying out some new ideas. 100 degrees and the lid is open Time for a snack while they cool down.

Kiln opening tomorrow. Will my thick sculptures be OK. Will the underglazes (first-timer) have worked out OK. Will I sleep tonight?

I actually enjoyed trimming tonight....

Just uploaded my first gallery.

It is end-of-the-semester Crunch Time...when students finally realize that firing isn't done in a microwave and wet clay doesn't turn into glazed ware overnight.

Cold and damp. Glaze taking ages to dry. Bye bye summer :-(
