Made it over to Georgie's pottery supply in Eugene yesterday with a friend. First time I've been able to hand pick my stuff. Friend who owns pottery store still firing my stuff in exchange for trimming. Switched from jewelry, just not my bag after giving it a good try, to mosaics. I like the fine art aspect.

Joined the local Artist's co-op gallery and ended up as secretary board member...trip to Humboldt on hold 'till January.

Bartered some time trimming slip forms at the local store that fires my work in exchange for kiln services. Only broke one piece!

Cold on it's way out but not gone. Once better I have some work to pick up and will be bartering work time for kiln firings at a local shop.

Have a cold. Think I re-caught something we used to call the Humboldt Crud, there must be a southern Oregon version. Not getting a lot of anything done.

Hi Folks, sorry I'm back. How's everyone been? Mixed bag for me the last few months while I sold/bought places to live and moved from ID to OR. No time for clay until recently, found my motivation with renewed interest.

Back to clay sounds waaaay better than moving! Glad you are back! Are you on the coast?
-
Yes Min, southern coast. Very rainy and blustery but I like it so much better than the upper great basin!
-
Beaches are so beautiful along there, lucky lady!

House closing escrow, trying to ...oh it's just too complicated. Moving is a madhouse. Haven't done much clay lately.

I painted today: put a layer of gold craft paint on my scuffed up paint-splattered Birkenstocks, yay! Everything going to hell in a handbasket otherwise.

Really need to work on something, but slaving night and day to get my house ready for sale. Have to set a couple hours by for art, I'm feeling it's loss. (Of art, not the house ^^)

Right now all I can think about is my impending move out of state. Surrounded by piles of small bisqueware and no means to fire it. Argh!

Last pottery class this week, got my raku back, meh. Folks felt such a connection someone suggested we meet again next wk to pick up and glaze our final works outside of class time. I have some stoneware left to glaze. Maybe I'll finally make/get a successful mug with my own hands.

First throwing class, saved nothing til the last construction week-9 pots. Mugs, still have the first in parents home-terrible reminder of wonderful first days on the wheel, Look at it and remember fondly even though the pot is for crap.
-
I still have all my wheel thrown wares, from my first Ceramics class. The bowls aren't too bad, the mugs on the other hand... As my instructor noted on one of them, "Well, that's insulated!"

yappy, that is the exact way that the Shenandoah potters guild was started years ago. nobody wanted to stop being together.

Spent way too long in pottery lab decorating and attaching handles. Went in bright-eyed, left grumpy and tired. They better not be garbage when they come out!
-
3rd pottery class last night. To my disappointment none of my greenware had been glazed so I sat out the glazing demonstrations at the wheel practicing cylinders. Going back in to put handles on them today.
