Post from June 21

I started this post on June 21st and never really finished it or got around to publishing it.  So here it is now.  

I had a good day today.  I made some pots and  for the first time in a while I felt at ease in the studio.  I felt like I could just make my work and not worry too much about where it was going or if the clay was gonna be a problem or whatever.  I made pots that are for everyday use, not special exhibition type pots, or pots that ask for much attention.  I think making those pots gave me some space to relax.

I made some honey pots.  I'm looking forward to getting some local honey from my beekeeping friends soon.  I also made a half dozen luncheon plates and a few soup mugs.  The tumblers I made yesterday got slipped as well.

They are a different shape than the last ones I made and bigger.  I stayed with the dimple deco. though because I really liked the way it came out last time.

I made 3 cut sided plates just because I've been wanting to try them out.  If I like these after firing I may make more.  I think the edges will pick up the soda glaze nicely.
