When is a hobby no longer a hobby?
The pandemic has changed our world in many ways but one steady thing has been our hobby. Our pottery hobby might not be a hobby any longer. It has become a full time job for my wife. We purchased a second kiln, baby kiln for test fires. I wired it up today and we are performing the first burn in with witness cones. The witness cones will tell us if we hit the temperature required, confirming the…

Everything but pottery!
Arrrggg! Everything but pottery for the last couple of weeks, what’s going on? It certainly feels frustrating that I haven’t been in the studio for the past couple of weeks, it has all been for well meant reasons. If all goes well, I’ll be back on the wheel in the morning making some lidded jars. Ahh, lidded jars are probably my most favorite to make and the most challenging for me. I’ve started…

Marbling Clay
I’m taking a break from production pottery in order to goof around in the studio this week. I’ve read many books and watched many videos on marbling clay and wanted to give it a shot. Marbling is mixing different colored clays, I am using a brown and a white stoneware. I wedged the brown clay into a cone and slap centered on on my pottery wheel. I created four coils of white clay, approximately 1…

Plates for place settings
As our less expensive earthenware plates continue to chip, crack, and disappear. our cubbard is becoming bare, YEAH! I’m thrilled to be charged with creating plates for everyday use. I’ve been empowered by the powers above me (my wife) to make some plates. My wife has requested that they be round and cobalt blue. Since these plates are my first attempt at plates, I’m going to keep this as simple…

We're back!
We’re back!
It’s been very busy the last week. We’re back from Boston, our oldest has officially graduated from college and we’ve moved her home for the summer. In the fall she’ll be moving to Florida to continue her education in Biology cancer research. We took our dog to the doctor before our trip to Boston. Other than arthritis in the hips, she’s as healthy as can be. The doctor gave her some medicine…

June 2015 Exciting life
Well, we’re only a few days away from our oldest child graduating from college. I feel like we’ve acheived our first major goal in life and that is to get our children through college and on their way to becoming a productive member of society. With one down and two to go, I feel more prepared to get to the finish line with our other two kids. We’re heading to Boston to view Alycia graduating…

What to do? Our beautiful Lacey, a 13 year old Golden retriever is really showing signs of getting old. I can walk up on her and she can't hear me standing next to her.

it is not a secret that I have an intense and irrational love for ceramic things with lids
Because they provide you with an ease of capturing your biological creatures?@suplasim
Closed forms
I’m a little obsessed with closed forms that are created on the pottery wheel. A closed form to me is a cylinder that’s been pulled on the pottery wheel and then completely closed off at the top. I’ve always enjoyed challenges or pushing what I do to the limits. I’ve found that working with closed forms has many challenges to learn and understand before we can jump to a finished product. I call…

The cylinder, basis of all pottery from the pottery wheel
The Cylinder is truly the basis of all pottery that comes from the potter’s wheel. I was working in our studio on the long Memorial Day weekend creating bowls, steins, and plates. The bowls are for a fantastic client. The steins are a gift to a local neighborhood brew pub opening up on June 5th. Most important are the plates, I don’t have anymore plates to eat from. The plates have the shallowest…

French Butter Bell
Now days most people store their butter on a plastic tray in a special compartment in their refrigerators or fridge. I can remember as a kid, we left our butter on the countertop in a covered Tuperware container, my mom sold Tuperware and we had a lot of plastic containers in the house. Having the butter on the counter was great, it provided us with soft spreadable butter. However, the butter…

Just a Salt Pig?
Many people beyond me know that a salt pig holds salt and is not actually salted pig! I honestly didn’t know this when I started learning about salt pigs. Salt pigs come in all sorts of different sizes, shapes, whimsical, and non-whimsical. Basically, they’re vessels closed off at the top and they have an opening in the side. The outside of the vessel is glazed and the inside is generally left…
