Have you looked at potterbarter, people sell or trade used equipment, sometimes they have inherited it and others have just quit working in clay. I think you can get to it http://groups.yahoo.com/potterbarter/ you have to sign up and they send you e-mails when something comes up for sale. I almost bought a extruder but someone came in and bought the whole studio. Denice

I was thinking of later interviews with her when she was elderly. Her life and energy seem to have a soft and even flow, during the interview she would throw, have a cup of tea and then throw some wood in a small gas kiln to reduce it slightly. She didn't even seem to notice the camera and interviewer. I would have been extremely nervous, I'll have to rent that movie, reading is more of a challenge with my MS. Denice

The only person I came up with Beatrice Wood and it wasn't her work that drew me to her but her calm and gentle attitude towards life. Her luster glazes are sensational but her aurora was even better. Denice

I have a large slab roller now but I use to roll clay with a pastry chef rolling pin that you buy at a restaurant supply store. On smaller slabs I use the angled slam method and then give it a quick roll. Denice

My mother bought me a mosaic kit when I was 4 but they tiles were already fired, at 11 a teacher brought in clay for the class and every one was to make their own project. Most of the kids were making the typical clunky ash tray, I decided to make an pendant for a necklace, being a voracious reader I had just read about Mau cats in Egyptian art. When I touched the soft clay and discovered that the magical material could turn into a beautiful cat pendant I was in love. My pendant hung in a display case the rest of the year. Denice
