My Information

Member Title:
Advanced Member
Age:
63 years old
Birthday:
August 20, 1949
Gender:
Location:
Central, PA
Interests:
Camping, kayaking, family, travel, Art in general. I have a small studio in my garage. Two electric kilns, two wheels, wedging table etc. I am primarily interested in cone 6 Ox. but like to see what is going on at all ranges. Read about ceramics voraciously and love the feel of the clay and throwing. Have to admit that my greatest joy is in the making, not the glazing. That said I do mix my own glazes, some of my own formulas, some borrowed. Retired from teaching art, last year after 36 years, taught ceramics 34 of those years.

    Pres;
    The only way I can get those emoticons to work, is to drag and drop them.

    Teaching is a great service job and can be very rewarding. Glitches can be working conditions, administration, etc.
    But there are great rewards.

    Pres; I wanted to thank you for your articulate and thoughtful response to the person asking about layered glazing. I really thought I was helping out here. Guess not! Tom.[TJR]

    Pres, after reading your comment on pugmills, came here to say I think we have a lot in common (I'm a little older than you) in that I love making pots (wheel thrown or handbuilt)but do a crappy job of glazing except in Raku. Like your posts.

    Pres; I have been thinking about you lately. Had the big talk with my wife about retiring and making pots. We can't afford it. Got to hang in there for another two years teaching high school art. Built the studio at home. Too tired to use it. Take care, Tom

    Hi Pres, happy to meet you and v. impressed with images of your studio space. In a hurry just now, but will spend time visiting your blog later. Living in Australia in the mountains, I have only recently commenced my practice. What a journey! I made a beautiful shape and then spoiled it my scraping a hole through the wall. I've spend days trying to repair it.I learned a good lesson...
