Chili Bowls
So I went up to Ball State University to throw chili bowls for their event. I’m pretty sure its Feb. 23rd so if you happen to be in Muncie, IN that day check it out, It goes to a good cause. I threw and trimmed 30 because I ran out of time, bu every little bit helps. In a week or so I will head up to glaze them and try to snap a few pictures for the blog.
A fun side note, I finally picked...

Tumblr is getting a little frustrating
So I have been trying to post images for over a week now, and Tumblr refuses to post anything for me. Got to admit, I’m getting a little sick of it. Is anyone having this same issue?

I just found this pretty cool website that allows you to find people that teach recreational stuff. It links people that want to learn things (painting, rock climbing, archery, you name it) with people that teach them. Its pretty cool really. Of coarse I had to upload a page for the classes I teach, but there is a lot of cool stuff on there so check it out.

Oh what a week.
So, I have spent the week working on getting the business side of ceramics going. I have run into a few issues in the studio. The clay I am using now shrinks a bit more than I am used to, so I’m working around that. Sadly though, my biggest problem is that the wheel head on my potter’s wheel broke yesterday. I was using my patented technique to reset the post that never sits right...

Well, I was going to post pictures from my work in the studio today (first day back after a christmas break), but I just received some pretty startling news. Paul Soldner died on Jan 3rd. I got it from the Archie Bray fan page on facebook. For those of you not familiar with Soldner he was a monumental figure in the ceramics world. He will be greatly missed. Here is what I found posted about his...
