If I were as smart as a weenie I'd try to present my information ,so that it was
of interest to non-weenies. How can i keep people interested in what i have to
say? Charts, formulae, codes, big words are interesting to other weenies but do
not keep the masses interested. the masses are the people that buy most pottery
books, take most pottery workshops, buy supplies and buy pots. the know it alls
don't think they need inspiration in the form of a book, or a workshop or someone
else's pottery.
A weenie should teach high school for a semester. See if you can hide behind your
apparent knowledge. Will the kids destroy you, not come to class at all or write
FU on your chalkboard. FU in this scenario doesn't stand for Felix Unger.
What is a weenie made of??? I don't know, but I've heard there are even eyeballs
in them.
so I like a weenie with garnish. Relish, mustard and fried onions.
I think Phil Rogers gives a great weenie recipe in his book Ash Glaze. He
presents the material in a readable fashion, shows many pictures of good pots and
then the genius of his recipe is that he gives you the RECIPE for the glaze on
that good looking pot. Now, go make something beautiful. You supply the h0t dog
and he gives you the garnish.
Tube steaks forever!
Cheers,
tony
