We have this big guy from SUNY, Fredonia that finished his BFA there and I
talked him into coming to Sheridan to learn the craft of pottery, so that he
can decide on grad school or making pots. He is huge, always dirty and has
brought a truck load of energy to the school. I call him Dirt Ball cause he
is head to toe covered in clay. Last week the students went to The Canadian
Clay and Glass Gallery and they bought Dave a tee-shirt that says "throws
like a girl". I would get killed by a flock of women, if I wore it. He is
big enough, dirty enough and is smiling ear to ear, so I think he will live
thru wearing it.
Cheers,
Tony

I don't know about that Tony.
The last time I was in the position to judge "how a girl throws", I
was listening to her screaming, and ducking behind the couch. Damn
good arm on that woman! She could hit a mosquito dead on with a
toaster oven at 40 feet.
If you're talking about throwing pots well, the last time I took a
class, you could tell at which wheels the women sat (is that even
English?) because theirs were the ones that had no mud slathered on
the walls and all available surfaces around them. Well, mostly.
That shirt is probably a BIG compliment.
Best,
Wayne Seidl
