yes, made about 40 pots today from the dreaded `white slime`.
or, commonly called `white baby pooh`.
for us old timers, if clay does not have sand and grog the
size of a dime (one pence coin, sontime in paris, it makes it hard to throw.
but, with he skill of the ages, i was able to get through
the day.
all have a nice coat of dark blue slip...and will decorate
with thin white slime tomorrow.
tony, you have it correct. the white slime kid.
grandson told me he was creative...same with the
gd. grandson passed his first phase of black belt. 11 years old.
little fart is ok.
he had is buddy over the other day to make pots on the wheel.
the kid did ok, got center, made a bowl...he kept saying to me/
`hey, how am i doin? am i doin great?` thomas said...`hey, my
grandpa does not carry you around the studio just cuz you fart.
get on with it`. my kid.
