Well, back to the real world tomorrow…  Spring Break is over but I feel like I accomplished a few things.  I spent a lot of time in the clay studio, worked on the new site, and did some yard work.

Here is a look at the drying shelf in the clay studio.  I threw a number of pieces in the last week, mostly mugs and bowls.  I used three different kinds of stoneware over the last few days and I’m excited to see what the two new clays do when they are fired and glazed.  I feel like I’m making some small improvements with my wheel throwing technique.  For one thing, I’m getting more efficient.  I also feel like I’m better at pulling handles than I was a year ago.  A couple things that I hope to work on next might include lids and throwing some larger forms.  I can’t wait to bisque fire and then try some of the new glazes I got.

I also worked on my new side project.  There is a new feed on Potterymakinginfo.com called the working artists feed.  It produces the most recent posts from the blogs of ceramic artists and potters.
