Waiting, waiting, waiting for the kiln to cool...

Fire in the hole! Finally!

Chilly toes in the middle of July?

has discovered a love of dry sanding on a windy day in the valley!

Hi there! Followed your wheel dilemma for a bit, just stopping in to see if you were able to acquire a new one. :-) Karen

Welcome to the site! I'm new here, as well. Love the Ren Fairs, too!

Hi Laura,

Just a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate your tips for a newbie. Your words "two hands should work together as team" have been playing in my ears every time I'm on the wheel, with good results! :-) Karen

Hi JD, there is an image of many bowls in your gallery. Are those made of clay, or turned on a lathe? It is nice to see someone else that keeps thickness to their bowls. It seems that is my habit / preference as well.

I just adore your animal pottery!

Loved viewing your web page. :-)

I simply do not understand the negative reputation thing on this site. Seriously, if a person can't back up what they say, their comments aren't worth spit. Much like the internet that is awash with people judging and criticizing others, yet are they willing to put a face with a name? Pfft. I agree with you. Back it up or shut it up.

Not sure what is with the negative two rating on your reputation, but someone obviously has a stick in the wrong location. Hope to see you back soon.

Many thanks for your post, Dancing! I appreciate your input!

Many thanks for your help, I truly appreciate your message. :-)

Welcome, Ameichholz! I'm new to throwing, and relatively new to the site as well. Looking forward to tossing clay with you! :-)

Day two - working the wheel. Tried a different clay this evening, what a change!

Hi Janie! Many thanks for your kind post on the new wheel I received. I am very anxious to have fun. Not yet retired, but definitely making plans, albeit long range. :-)

Hi Jeri! I enjoyed your post, and loved the story of how your husband surprised you with a wheel. Looking forward to learning from and sharing with you. Lived in New Mexico for a big portion of my life, now in Oklahoma.

Thank you for your warm post, I loved it! That is the very kind of attitude that will keep me coming back. You've made my day, thank you!

Hey, buddy, where are you? I finally got a wheel, and you were the first one I thought about, wanted to share my news with you. Get your butt back in here! :-)

Thought I would share with you, tonight I rolled out some clay and stamped it with cookie cutters through dry cleaning plastic. When I compared the plastic cuts with the standard cuts I was simply amazed.

Thank you SO much, I'm in love!

I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful response to my first post. One never knows what kind of response might come about when a newbie posts.

Thank you for not chastising me with "Go look it up on Google." LOL.
