glazenerd

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

Made a slip from my new clay formula and cast my 12 x16 arched tile mold yesterday. Popped it out of the mold and hour later and it is still perfectly flat this afternoon. First time that has happened.

Kona bound in a few days. Not ready to leave Molokai

ready to go home.

Bisque load this week, glaze load next week. I've been trying some new designs so I'm very excited for this round of firing.

Going to Argentona today to see a museum of traditional pottery. Then two ceramic artists will show us their studio and the lunch on the coast and home. Looking forward to a relaxing day.

Helping a fellow potter (in return for free firing) -- kiln floor and bag wall, cut posts from brick, hung new lights. Salt fire next weekend.

If te results of my last two glaze firing is any indication, I may be close to pefecting my 'un-even firing' technique...if only that were actually useful

In Barcelona with Adriane doing pre-ground work for Potters Council group. Great weather. I love Barcelona.

Drove 800 miles today only 400 left to go. Best spring show ever

Had to take the decision to move out my studio, a little sad but going to keep working as much as I can from home.

I made a mug from 4 lbs of clay, mostly as a joke. One of the first things to sell...

My niece and I were playing, "If I Had a Million Dollars". I said I would give her a private performance by her favorite band. She said she would give me a lifetime supply of glazes. Awwwwwwwww.

Went to an online site to buy some materials for "Magic Mud", ended up splurging on a Mudtool sponge and Do All Trim Tool, and a bevel cutter...

Finally going to be firing with my power burner tomorrow, had a month with no free time at all let's hope it works.

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

I've enjoyed so much getting to see the process of many of you on Instagram! If you use it regularly, let me know what your account is and I'll stop by and say hi!

Looking at a licensing agreement for logo use that will mean a busy summer of handbuilding...crunching numbers & schedule carefully.

Ordered technical grade/s of kaolins and one ball clay. Iron content is 0.08 which translates to super white porcelain.
