Today was productive in a few ways. I got in the shop before lunch and made a run of dinner plates (9), and got some slabs on plaster. I was inspired by Marky Mark , Doug's pal, to quickly make this little dish. I draped the slab on a plaster mold, gave it a spin on the banding wheel and cut the rim into place. I then made a doughnut and threw the foot on. (Still on the banding wheel) I love the looseness of this foot. I'd like to get that on my regular plates. It's much different than a cut foot.
I headed to town for some errands after lunch. I picked up the drywall for the upstairs closet while I was out. My dad, brother in law and neighbor came over and helped me get it hung. It went up quick with all the good help. I still have to finish screwing it off and I won't starting finishing it until we hang the rest in the stair well. (which is almost all framed in) Boy, Sarah is sure gonna be surprised when she gets home tonight!
I sent in my application for Penland today too. I sure hope I get the class I want. I've not had much luck with that place in the past.
AND....I have supper already. Rock on!
