New Work

Oops! Sorry folks. Didn't realize that it's been such a long time between postings.

Well, here we go then.

This is greenware ready for the kiln.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

God willing n the creeks don't rise, a new KM1027 Stutz kiln will make its appearance and these can be bisque fired.

So i'll go ahead and Thank Him for the new kiln even if the thank you is a wee bit premature.

It is so dry here in San Antonio that my pieces dry too fast making it hard to work and creating some disasters--even when kept under layers of plastic. If it is not one thing it is another.

Sent you an email saying: I accidently misled you (all) about the kiln -- sorry about that.
There's a practise that i've employed for many years, of Thanking God in advance for something i desperately want.
It's in the bible somewhere's to sing praises of Thanksgiving for a Blessing even if you haven't received it yet and to act as if it's already an accomplished fact.
Will have to go back in on this latest post and correct the impression . . . .

Had gotten sooo depressed by the kiln situation that i stopped working a'tall. Then, my son Reed paid for a weekend seminar on raku for me, and the group energy revitalized me somewhat. Decided to go ahead and create pieces, even if they'll have to stay in the greenware state for a whiles.

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.
