      I love that! Yes, I'm definitely a mud potter. If I had someone to do all the glazing and firing I would be so happy.

      I'm TOTALLY a mud potter. I hate trimming and glazing, but throwing and decorating with underglaze? I could do that forever! ^_^

      I love everything to do with the clay .... throwing, forming, coiling, trimming, carving, slip trailing. The glazing process I only tolerate because of the finished result.

      Fish Glaze >>>Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

      To make the browned butter lime sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. ...

      Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. ...

      Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat.
