    Still to cold to work in my studio,  by the time I got it warmed up the day would be over.   Our second cold blast in the last three weeks.  This one is colder but shorter, it suppose to get up to freezing temp by Sunday.   Denice

    Got through to Tim at Laguna today who helped me solve the problem.  Turns out just needed the slightest tightening of the belt, and voila!  Fingers crossed this will be THE solution.

    Recommended initial fire underway!
    I'm guessing that making will now be more about making than practicing and experimenting.

    I'm watching the temp differential between the instrument I'd used on the prior (fully manual) kiln and the new kiln's displayed temp (not sure if it's a composite/average of the three thermocouples, the middle one, or?), which might help, for I'll be trying to replicate the firing profile I was using afore*...
    Finished up the wiring today; it was all done except for terminating at the main panel...
     
    *Thanks to those who'd shared their initial experience on making the leap from fully manual to auto!

    After a too-long hiatus from throwing, I'm back in the studio and found something very interesting...I've noticed that I'm throwing with a lot less water than in the past. I've also decided that I'll be using my reclaimed clay for squirting  extrusions since it seems a more acceptable use of the reclaim than throwing...at least for me.

    Summer is ending and fall is on it's way.   Great weather to work out in the studio.  Finished remodeling the house a couple of weeks ago.  My sister from Sacramento  left today  after staying for a week.  Resting for a couple of days I am heading back to the studio.  Denice

    I put a huge bowl of water out at the edge of our driveway during the summer for dogs out for a walk. Went to change the water just now and somebody has stolen the bowl. Hmmm, back to using a bucket rather than one of my bowls.

    Spring time in Georgia. Beautiful weather inspires me to get out in the studio. I just cleaned it up and organized it, which means I very well might make some pots for the first time in 2 years. Had to make sure the potters wheel even still worked today. Thankfully it buzzed right up. Kiln turned on as well! Whew!

    We have keys and remotes; tomorrow we'll start moving things from storage.
    The garage space has one big "two car" door and a one car door.
    The one car space will become ...Studio!
    My plans include putting up a wall to close off the one car space, with a person door near the back - door with a big window in it, to catch some of the light from that North facing window.
    We'll run wiring in the new wall, separate the overhead lighting from the rest of the garage, and add several flat mount LED lights up there.
    The heat pump thing will go on that far wall somewhere, the kiln in the corner by the rollup door.
    It's a nice space. The window isn't as big as the prior Studio's, but it will bring it a lot of light, being Westerly.
    The space is a bit bigger.

    The roll about shelving we negotiated for from the sellers.
    I'll very likely use a few of them on the Studio side; they are adjustable and very stout.

    We made it all the way to our new town* ok this last Sunday.
    Most all our stuff is in storage whilst we stay with our Son and look for a new house. The movers left my wheel and a box of clay near the front, so I might set up to start making greenware** if I get bored, heh. ...no idea where my ribs, sponges, stick, chamois an' all are. However, this town has what appears to be a fully appointed Ceramic Supply store! !! It's open on Tuesday and Saturday, I want to go to there...
    This was a nice space to work in.
    That big window supplies a lot of light.
    Lots of shelving, just enough counter space.
    The next space, I'll need some heating/cooling, for it gets both hotter and colder here than Los Osos...

     
    The back yard was coming along.
    Just about everything needs a pruning.
    I hope the new owners keep it up and, And, keep the bird feeder full...
    There are many of the same small/songbirds here in Chico. Interesting that the House Finch here has a slightly different song than those in Los Osos.

    *Chico, California
    Where IMCO is just over a hundred miles away; I'll be able to make a clay run on little more than a whim!
    **I'd smashed a hundred fifty plus hours of work into buckets for reclaiming later on.

    Hello, In other forums I am in you must introduce yourself before asking or participating. This is my Intro....I have become obsessed with sculpture and "bowls" - handmade and slab building with glazing usually. I am untrained but have fearless - not interested in perfection....lean toward the Japanese term - Shouganai (it can't   be helped, move forward or "nothing lasts").  I think forums are a great help in learning and will ask my starting question shortly ;-) Locosan/Jerry

    Thank you to all who reached out about how we are doing from the big earthquake. I only lost 5 cereal bowls at my xmas booth and zero breakage at studio. Our home is fine as we are prepared for quakes and have out styff bolted to wall and our water heater and solar tanks are straped to walls. Yes we had stuff fall but it all made it fine. This was my best earthquake as pottery damage was so light.Our house is bolted to foundation as well so its fine to.

    Hi, I guess I'm a newbie, lol. I enjoy all forms of art but recently have been mesmerized by clay and all the wonderful things you can make with it. My journey is just beginning so there is so much for me to learn and experience when it comes to clay.
