      yup, can never have enough lavender houses

  5. Have a show up at our cooperative gallery. The local newspaper described my work as "aggressively adorable". Complement or insult? Don't care.

      Hope the show goes well. Sometimes they can be tough but many times they are profitable. Good luck!

  6. well monday we get a new puppy. so fun. I often make little clay eggs and I had some drying at home once. came home and found them full of teeth marks. No studio time for this pup.

      I have a border terrier who stays in my garage when I throw. She doesn't bother anything, but I have to deter her from trying to drink glazes. I made a yunomi for her that she drinks out of now.

      yep this is a border terrier pup. they eat anything.

      Nice, Borders are a wonderful breed. They are smart, funny, and have so much attitude. This is our first one. I have always wanted one. She lives up to her expectation.

  7. Anyone have dreams about ceramics? I had one last night where I was trying to raku a complex piece and all these other people showed up and were building makeshift raku kilns out of inappropriate materials and causing great danger and making a huge mess. Makes me grateful for our safe and simple set up.

      Haha Marko!

       

      raku, that would be a grat QOTW. Shall we ask our friends one of these days via QOTW?

  8. just added a photo of a recent sculpture. Bunnies worshiping a magnificent carrot. Sort of like people looking up at redwoods.

      While I enjoy the whimsical sense of your pieces: underneath it is some serious talent.

    2. rakukuku

      what a kind remark. thanks. it did have a few technical issues and was raku fired.

      Raku, I LOVE 'em! ALL of them! <3 You do, indeed, have some serious talent there! **thumbs up**

      looks awesome. the character of their body position and their face is perfect.

  11. Have had guests for 4 days and while fun, lack of clay time has made me antsy. Can't wait to get back tomorrow and see kiln unload.

    1. Amy Eberhardt

      Ben Franklin once said that "Fish and guests tend to stink after three days and both should be removed after that time" *insert evil snicker here* :D

      Amy, that is so funny. And true. LOL. I haven't any guest in many years. I go visit my kids, so they don't have to visit me. ;)

      yes, I have thrown a beer in the brew once or twice to make it fizz some more. It works! and it doesn't smell bad ;-)

      i had a pc before. can't find out how to do this from a mac. can't get it to choose a photo

      High Bridge Pottery

      Not exactly sure on the problem. Does the finder window open? (think it is called explorer on windows) The choose photo button on the forum should still be in the same place.

    4. Mark C.

      Mark C.

      Send the photo to yourselfvia e-mail from I-photo in a smaller size -then I drag it to the decktop and then you follow the photo instructions on FAQ page
