  14. It seems like such simple thing...pouring glaze through the spout of a tea pot back into the glaze bucket. It takes real talent, however, to consistently land one big splash as a direct hit to the crotch. It is not a pretty picture :)

  15. great day in the studio with experiments in textured throwing.

    1. Crusty

      Awesome, you threw those thick. Cant wait to see them fired, you inspire me so i have to get our Raku kiln done.. damn cold weather is killing me...

  17. Just watched the DVD from Ceramic Arts Daily...Jason Bige Burnett's "The Graphic Pot". I can definitely recommend it...and for anyone from Colorado, it may not be what you think it is :)

  18. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

  19. I wonder if I leave extra cookies and milk out for Santa if he'll bring along some elves to clean up the studio. *big sigh*

  20. I am glaze depressed. I can't find any commercial glazes I like, and I can't seem to find a simple glaze to mix on my own = (.

      Tri color glazing is fun... Play around and you will find a combo you like... we use Birch, Fire Brick, Ox Blood or Jade... all different Companies ...
