She is an oldie but a goody, bought used in 2014. i think we should name her R2D2... but maybe that is too cliche or overdone. She finished a bisque firing last evening, and we are waiting for her to cool down.
My daughter, on the other hand, has learned good habits. We have to cover the bucket o' water with a towel, because we've had issues with mosquitoes laying eggs. In our garage! Welcome to Florida!
Before I learned any ceramics terminology, I called it what it was. This stuff here hasn't been fired (green ware). This stuff here has been fired (bisque). Hey, it worked for me.
