Out of the kiln

The following tumblers were made with this tool, the Ultimate Edger, which I got when I was in Lawrence in May. There's a lot of grog in this clay, so you can also file your nails on the bottom ridge of these cups--double purpose!




This lidded piece was done in May as are most of these pieces and is finally finished.

And a mug.

    Thanks!!! I don't feel like I'm talented, just practice a lot.

    Was talked into selling two pieces before and have bartered. I don't feel like my work is in the "selling" category yet, as I know where all the flaws are and feel like a piece needs to be perfect in order for someone to pay money for it.

    seriously, you are talented, the stuff is good. flaws are what give people and pottery character and flavor...
    Sell on..

    you guys should hold that lidded piece! i don't know anything about pottery, but i know it's hard to throw something that thin and balanced. the lid fits perfectly.

    i love the clay Kim uses, too...it's groggy and feels very earthy. wish you could all feel these things.

    she said she didn't want to give me her "cast-offs". i said the same thing as goteeman's 2nd comment and i ran off with it.

    but not before i broke a piece of pottery off her wall. i was just going to return her camera so i ran over in my pjs...like a yutz, i hit my head on the piece hanging on the wall and *crashed* it to the floor. oops.
