I made a trip to Greensboro, NC today with my friend David Caldwell. We both had work to pick up at Greenhill Center. It's a 4 hour round trip. I had hoped to get some pots made today but as it was almost 4pm when I got home I felt like I may as well call it a day and just start fresh tomorrow.
But then I remembered something I had heard James Clear say in a podcast. One trick he had for meeting his goals was to "reduce the scope, but stick to the schedule". In other words, choose SOMETHING over doing NOTHING. So I went out to the studio and made a board of cups and worked on an idea for some dog bowls (yes, dog bowls, they need nice dishes too!).
I was happy to get that much work done. If I would have not gone in the studio at all today I would have been disappointed. I know that tomorrow I'll have a full day in the studio and can really get cranking.
Here is an image of my new soda fired pots in The Shop at GreenHill Center. I am pleased that they are being shown along side useful, handmade objects for the kitchen.
