Dear Clayart People,
A friend of mine who is going out of the tile business is selling=
a
bluebird pug mill/extruder, 10 years old, for $2000.00. I think she
originally paid around 7000.00 for it. It is really more than I need but=
seems too good to pass up I am a 53 year old studio potter. I also tea=
ch
about 25 students per week. We probably go through about 400 pounds of
clay a week but not all porcelain. I personally use porcelain most ot th=
e
time. Looking through the archives I noticed some emails about porcelain=
picking up pieces of metal from the barrel of the pug mill. This machine=
has an aluminum barrel as do the new bluebirds and peter puggers too. Wh=
at
do porcelain potters do who are "old" and don't want to wedge all their
scraps? =
Another subject, I would like to tell Hank Murrow that I bought =
a
bowl of his and I am loving it. My heart skips a beat every time I see i=
t.
It is in my studio on my work table and I probably will keep it there fo=
r
a while even though it should probably be safe at home. i tried to get M=
r.
Murrow's email address from the gallery but they haven't answered me. I
hope he reads this. I purchased it at the babcock gallery in NYC and the=
y
sent it in a box in a box that looked like it could hold a major househol=
d
appliance. =
Thanks, Francine Epstein

*****Hello Francine;
Where is the pugmill located? Very important info.
As to the bowl from the shino show; is it the one with birds &
leaves, or just two birds? In any case, I want you to know that those
pieces were in use in our home for several years before they found their
way to NYC. Field-tested, so to speak. I AM glad it hasfound a responsive
new person to live with. My addy is
Regards, Hank Murrow
