Question

When you sit down at the wheel to throw a cup, casserole dish, vase, bowl, plate . . . . you've gathered everything you need, wedged the clay and are ready to begin . . . . . . . do you feel more creative - if previously - you've been drinking your coffee or tea from an exceptionally unique cup? One that stimulates the imagination?
XXXXXXXXX

girl. said...: randomly stumbled on your blog. i don't work with clay--in fact, i'm not an artist at all--but your question is really interesting. i think a parallel can be found in writing one's best work after reading something particularly insightful, which is often the case. then again, maybe we're all just feeling most creative after putting some caffeine through our bloodstream. :); December 9, 2007 at 11:40 PM

Glad you found Clay Gallimaufry !!! Indeed, it seems you ARE an artist at the piano, and i'll bet in other areas too.
Glad to have you aboard and enjoyed your comments.

Recommended Pottery Suppliers

Bailey Pottery Equip Corp: at http://www.baileypottery.com OR call (800) 431-6067 and speak with Susan. I would do more business with this company except it is out on the east coast and shipping fees to the Pacific Northwest are spendy.
Bullseye Glass Co: at http://www.bullseyeglass.com OR call (888) 220-3002. This is a great company to do business with! Very friendly and helpful. For those of you who wish to incorporate glass into your clay products, i highly recommend this company.
Clay King Company: at http://www.clay-king.com OR call (888) 838-3625 and speak with Chris Williams who is extremely patient with all your questions. He's a dear. The company consistently sells major pottery equipment at below market price. They are punctual in shipping, efficient (emailing receipts and tracking #'s immediately) and just a lovely group to work with.
Coyote Clay & Color: at http://www.coyoteclay.com OR call (866) 344-2250 and speak with Martin. Their speciality is Cone 6 glazes.
Georgies Ceramic & Clay Company: at http://www.georgies.com OR call (800)999-2529. This company produces awesomely versatile clay.
Paragon Kiln Company: I would not recommend this company. Bought a brand new electric digital-programmer kiln from them and 4 months later it stopped functioning correctly. They do not stand behind their products and their "warranty" is a joke.
U.S. Pigment Corp: at http://www.uspigment.com OR call (800) 472-9500 and speak with Saheeb. This company sells hard-to-find oxides and has reasonable prices. Saheeb is a joy to work with and seems to genuinely care about you and your success.
