Still working, but now the garage is COLD! I am trimming the colored clay pots and trying to find a way to trim the insides to see the color results. The trimmings are gorgeous!

Belts on my wheel broke while throwing. Ordered replacements. Second repair job on my 16 years old wheel. Then my clay supplier has had the phones disconnected. Next closest place is Austin 340 miles away.
