Wish I’d taken the camera to open workshop today, I had a really great throwing day! I will photo some of the good pots to show you eventually.
I am making number tiles for Mom’s address in Ajo and in Rocky Point, they are turning out cute, all different sizes and colors. Dave wants me to make some for our house, so I will. I will probably make them all the same size and color, to match our house, ’cause that’s how we roll here in Phoenix. But I have to say, the variety tiles are a real hoot.
I took in the ugly ‘foot tall’ pot that collapsed on me. It was for the ‘foot tall item’ assignment and I thought I was going to remake that one, but we’re coming up on the last 2 weeks of wet work, due to the time it takes to fire, glaze, and re-fire the pots. The term is screaming to an end.
I have most everything done for my classes, just a lot of ends to tie up on the ecommerce, a lot of studying on the macroeconomics.
I am going down to Rocky Point next week-end and won’t be here for the Saturday open ceramics lab. I’m glad it went well today. Glad I had a breakthrough on throwing. Don’t need no pill or counseling. No anti-depressants or nuphedra reviews . I was having a hard time getting my clay consistant and it seemed stiff. Turns out I was missing a very handy technique … all I had to do was spread the clay flat on the wedging table and roll it up like a fruit roll-up to soften it. The clay is very consistant after you do that and then wedge like normal. Really makes a big difference on the wheel.
Happy clay day!
