The "momentum is building",Sawdust and Dirt is getting in the groove, and it sounds like potters are slinging clay all around in Bakersville these days. Had an interesting Clay Club meeting last night at Crimson Laurel gallery discussing the endless topic of pricing...a tough one that can be battled up and down. June Perry's blogpost outlines an interesting list of how one can decipher how long it takes to make a mug here. It's very hard to dismantle the layers of time that go into making pots but it is very important to educate people about the process so they can hopefully understand the quality and value of a fine piece of pottery.
I had a morning warmup with these small ovaled bowls and now I'm ready to start carving a couple of batches of mugs for the remainder of the afternoon. The first night of my summer wheel throwing class begins tonight and I have a full class of clay enthusiasts to enthrall with the rhythm of the clay on the wheel.
