I laughed at the popping up at people thing. Shelves do look bigger in the photos. Interesting that people handled middle more. Either way not too much to worry about just improve and learn like u said. I bet others will have better comments who actually do shows unlike me. I was just coming from a consumer stand point. I like ur pots a lot was surprised u didn't sell much. But I guess it happens.

Oh, no, I really value it. I had a couple people send private messages and I have gotten completely unique perspectives from every single person. Also I can't exactly ask my customers what they think of my display, they're hardly going to give an honest critique! LOL People would come up and I would have this moment to decide whether I stood up and startled them or stayed sitting down and watched them creepily from between the shelves. I felt like I was hunting wabbits.

Thank you, by the way. This kiln load had barely any "whoops" to it. A couple things had to be ground off but no bubbling, nothing to be refired for the first time ever. Shocking.

... succeeded!" That was, I think, the best moment for me.

Thanks for the follow up. Interesting day it sounds like. I would keep making what you love and just find people who like it.

Good to hear that you are feeling better. Not so good that your clay isn't cooperating

Haha! Thank you, I've been madly glazing and shipping tocatch up. When I carved into the huge mass, it was still leathery about 1/2" under the surface, so I have hopes that if I wrap it in soaked towels for a few days that will reconstitute the outside and I can start wedging.

You might be able to cut and slam at this point to even things out. I find the pillowcase method doesn't dry as evenly as I'd like it to, but it does have some other convenient points.
