I know I'm still a clay intermedie (and may it always be thus), and I'm
no artist (although I'm willing to be; I just don't see that "artist"
can be learned.....correct me if I'm wrong......please.) However, I have
stacks of moldy papers as evidence that I at some points in my loooong
journey have been able to follow a thought from inception to some
logical conclusion. Sooo, tell me please, what is the major difference
in using a "mold" to form clay whatevers, or in using a "ram press" or a
"jigger" to form same???? Other than the sheer numbers one can produce
in an allotted time???? And the cost of the original equipment????
I usually can suspend disbelief and make the huge jumps initial learning
requires, but my non-artist mind is becoming befogged on this one.

In the Mojave celebrating the silence (no wind!) by mixing two BRAND NEW
batches of shino...cracked shino, and the one where I'll be watching for
gray, gloppy suds on top....then my shinoed non-NCECA mug can find its
way home to the patient Yung-Mei.
