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!!!:-)
-
Not sure using the hose is "Hillbilly" enough. I think to be considered that, you have to wash them on the rocks near the Ol' Fishin' Hole...
-
Next time I will recruit a jug band to seranade e while I'm hosing.

sometimes, when I don't have time to actually work in the studio, I find myself wandering in there to stare at my finished greenware pieces or test tiles.
-
got some new shelves. every time I put one side together the other falls apart. I managed to walk away before throwing the pieces down the street!

Set of butterfly bowls I just finished. I'm fairly pleased with how they came out even though they were over fired. -
my mugs were getting too dry to handle so I put them in my magic rehydration box. Now they are too wet to handle.
-
ugh not good- I use the zip lock tote boxes with a sealed lid.. I just mist a tad of water in them and my clay stays the same for literally months .. I guess you have potters plaster in yours?
-
So is your rehydration box the same as a wet box made with plaster? We had wet boxes at the college, but someone said that all the dried vessels put in there would not receive a handle without cracking around the handle. I've based my advice about rehydration
on their comments. :>( But thinking back 12 yrs., they did have sloppy techniques, which made our ideas clash.

No plaster. It's just an air tight Tupperware box I got from target.

I like the shape of those and the green glaze! -
Nice form! -

These are gorgeous and match my living room perfectly! -
doing a little bisque in my test kiln!
-
what kind of test kiln do you have? were looking to get one soon.

I have a AIM 88, I have been happy with it but I would buy one with a built in pyrometer now.
-
It's a Paragon. I've fired it twice so far, once on slow and once medium. I bought it used and so far I'm pleased with it.

I got the hang of it after just a few. I do put in an air hole. The hardest part for me is just closing it off right. -
Working with clay has made me a hoarder. I am always thinking, I could use that in the studio, or I could make a tool out of that and I don't throw it away.

I am often asked why I didn't build a larger studio. I tell them I would just fill it with racks, and things that could be made into a tools.
-
My husband has given up trying to guess what is a potential art supply. It is OK to see possibilities for use with clay.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I throw the goblets in 2 parts then assemble them. They are some of my favorite pieces to make. -

The waves are more subtle on this piece. I coat the bottom in white engobe then carve the textured lines around the waves. -

another view of my nautical teapot. I threw the spout and handle and pieced them together. I got some cracks in the seams of the bottom cut out so I keep this one for decoration. -

another view of my nautical teapot. The top is a yo yo jar I threw in one piece without a bottom and then stacked after throwing the main body of the teapot. -
Thanks Jolie I'll put some more in the nautical folder -
