actually one cannot chart the hourly
rate of a potter.
we stare far too much.
you know...make a pot, look out the
window. `hey, is that a savannah warbler?`
\ oh, crap, it was just a sparrow....keep your
eyes peeled however.
or, have you ever been with a bunch
of potters, and there is a kiln firing.
they just sit around the kiln and watch it fire.
talk a bit, drink something cool....and say.
`hey, wally, what is the temp now...is cone 8 getting
soft yet?`
the only potter/artist that i know that does not do
that is stephanie stephenson. she watches the kiln,
watches for birds, but she picks up scrap wood, stacks
the shelves at the farm, talks and talks....and tells stories,
but she is busy all the time. perpetual motion.
