Where I've been




Have you noticed my lack of posting lately? Well, I have been busy,,,,, I have been taking a ceramics class. I have been away from ceramics for over 25+ years, oh my!!!! I have always loved it and have always wanted to get back to it. Now that my son is older, there is more time for me! Pursuing things I love. I love throwing,,,,,(on the wheel) you can make several items in a matter of minutes, (if you are good),,, quick results,,, that's me!!!!! I was hoping to show you my first piece, but like any good thing I need to be more patient,,,,, the glaze didn't come out just right so I am having it re-fired. It's just a test piece so I can learn about what all the glazes do. I am creating with Laguna B, which is a white clay. I hope to make some pieces with porcelain when I upgrade my skills a bit.

It's kinda like riding a bike, it all comes back. ;)
I have some studio time this weekend. Unfortunately I won't have much to show,,,,, yet..... stay tuned......

tara, it's great to hear you're working with clay. i've recently felt the same urge, although i've not taken any classes.
love the studio shots....inspiring!
i hope you'll post some of your pieces for us.
