Making Forms

I was up at 5 am this morning. Danny forgot his glasses and came back to get them. Might as well get up, I was wide awake by then. I decided to clean up the pottery wheel and throw a form I had been wanting to throw for some time. You use these forms for making other objects. This one below will be used to make a open weave pottery basket. I think you'll really be surprised. The pictures below are of a freshly make greenware pot. It has to sit for at least a week to completely dry. During that time, I'll get Kojak to come and replace the breaker in the breaker box so we can fire it. After that, I think I'll make a movie of the basket making. Can't wait to see how it turns out. J

Getting Back


Do you know what this picture is? It's a picture of an idle pottery
wheel. I hope to get it going real soon. I've been very tired lately,
my asthma is way out of control and I don't feel good most days. I
have some really good ideas for some new pieces, so hopefully I will
be able to start something soon. Keep dropping by and keep your
fingers crossed.
