Stuff an tings

Been a very busy boy working away until the wee hours ( 2am this morning ) getting loads of pots made for a few things I have going on. The best 20 or 30 pots will be heading for the show I blogged about in my last post. The snow came and went ( eventually ) and I moved myself back out into the garden a bit reluctantly I may add. That took the best part of a day as I decided I needed to see what condition my clay stack was in after the sub zero temps we had and have a full clean and sort out. The clay was in a bit of a state to be honest but nothing a load of kneading didn't sort out, phew I wish I had a pug mill! I have really enjoyed this batch of pots so far, after losing 9 out of the 12 press moulded dishes that I had made and it wasn't until I thought about how many directions i'd rolled that clay out in it dawned on me why, platelets and all that, ha! So that is that I guess I don't seem to have left the house for weeks which is slightly worrying but good to immerse myself and not give myself even time to blog but needless to say normal-ish frequency of blogging will resume as the pressure is somewhat off all of a sudden, feels good to have just got it done and tonight I shall be in bed before midnight with a full stomach, a blog post done and not head to toe in red clay. Cheers.
