You are correct. But you also know that the right clay is required for
technical success. So, the batch of clay was too coarse, short and difficult
to work.
We have found other "bodies" that are easier to work with. We will re-attempt
to shape and cure this form. In time, maybe, we can return to that other,
frustrating bag of dense material. My "body" is a certainly less malleable and
dry just as I expect their's would be. Rehydration is a slow process. Other
times, it is best to saturate and remix while cutting in some new clay. Aging
helps the feel and response as well. And even then, as is in life, I will have
another popout and thus, will have to repeat the process.
I had fishcakes for breakfast last Tuesday morning in Gloucester. Stayed
overnite in Essex after doing a pottery program in Manchester by the Sea.
We live in Central Mass, the Town of Warren. Nice place overall. But I miss
those fishcakes. Stopped in Peabody on the way home and had some "Cajun
Crawfish Enchiladas". Those were amazing.
Thanks for the thoughts.
