My Favorite Clay Quote

"Personally, I'd like to know a guy's pottery creds before I'll befriend 'im. If he don't know clay, he don't know nothin'. I'm sorry, but that's just the way life is. I don't make these rules. I just enforce them. Okay, I don't enforce them, but I believe in them. A little. Okay, really I don't even believe in them but I hope others might. I know they don't, but I hope they might because, after all, how much better wouldn't the world be if everyone understood clay a little better?

When you tuck your children in tonight, tell them a little clay story, won't you? If you don't, the whole clay story may be entirely lost to future generations. That would be tragic." --Beau Nash



In keeping with my promise to upload at least a pot a day to my Etsy site, here are three of my recent offerings:


Yesterday...
Today...

And, coming tomorrow...

  2. Yeah, that Beau Nash is, like, a total genius and stuff.

    Thanks for the compliment. That's my slip/glaze combo that didn't work earlier this year. I'll have it all working great just about exactly when I get down to the bottom of my 32 gallon bucket of the stuff!
