my students always grumbled at me because i would never
let them enter shows.
i would tell them, `what the hell, my clay, my glazes, my kiln,
and your hands in the clay for ten minutes...no, no shows, you can
do that when you have your own clay, glaze, wheel, kiln and studio.
not until`.
now i have all my canecraft handles in a large pan, hot solvent,
and color crayons melting around them. syko del ick. see, i can
follow instructions.
`nice teapot on that handle tony.`

Now Mel;

You could always fake it. I did a teapot in honor of my brother. It was a
CAT Diesel Power hat with a used shot gun shell as the spout and a deer
antler as the handle. All of it was handformed clay (no molds.) The hardest
part was getting the color and texture just right on the antler. Just a
little shiny towards the ends and a little satiny toward the base. It turned
out very nice and I sold it to a professor whose daughter works for Cat. It
was great fun making it too!
