I finally gotten my hands on the clay after more than a year and two hand surgeries. Yaay!

Picked up a bag each of Grolleg, McNamee, NZ, Helmer, and FHC: let the clay body tests continue.

A sad day for this North Carolina potter.

Heading to Yosemite, Kings, and Sequoia next week, be gone for 8 days. Hope to have wifi. Hope to see some potters and potteries

Glaze firing tonight. Yard work tomorrow. Listings the next day. Then repeat!

Glaze day in am after a few days fishing crabs and halibut-back to it for spring gallery orders

I just finished packing ONE large bowl for shipping...I think my first sofa came in a smaller box *grin*

Workshop in Kilnun coming upon Friday. It will be cool with the Scottish potters Association.

I got a used Venco (Australian made) vacuum pugmill. Just like the one I never used in Wellington because of pottery politcs... :-)

Back in the dark ages when I first started using clay, I don't recall anyone telling me to be sure to photograph finished work...see, it is ALL their fault

Silicon Carbide is arriving today. Going to mix up some test batches of some reduction glazes to experiment in oxydation chemically reduced! Lots of terrible glazes to come!

So, my fella is awesome. He found a grippy turnstyle thingy at a thrift store and got it for me. It has little padded prongs to grip cup-like objects for decorating, so I don't have to hold it while I underglaze!

Why does it take so long to post a thread, like I am back in 1997 on dialup xD No wonder people spam the post button staring at the blinky dots.

Frustrated with studio set up....

After a month of conquering 4qt bowls, I'm finding myself much happier with 8 pounds of clay and just a 3qt bowl. Yes. That makes be about a 'quart low'...but we've known that for a while, right?

making pottery for the Elmore County annual humane shelter auction!!!

My first ever single firing is in the kiln. Hunting round the house for displacement activities to keep me from wondering just exactly what is going to happen.

Throwing pots for the first time in 4 weeks. Yay!

My wedding ring survived a batch of stoneware in the Peter Pugger...I always knew of my attraction to clay, but this takes it too far, methinks
