I actually like both of them, are you doing this for some sort of class...or just doing it because you can?

Pretty neat stuff, Brug.

Also, about how long did it take you to do either of those?

Thank you both.

I take a class but it's not like a pottery 101 or something where a grade is given. It's sort of an open studio with a teacher around to help if you have a problem or need to learn something. So I'm doing it because I can at this point but I'm trying to improve on what I can do. We go on Friday nights (my mother, step-dad, and grandmother too) and it took me 3 fridays to do them. One to throw them, one to trim them, one to glaze them.  It takes about a week to properly dry them to get ready for trimming anyway. After they are trimmed they get fired once then you put the glaze on them and fire them again.

That's some Grade A pot there.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

That is nice; is there a living in it yet?

And can you avoid the splatter like the video you showed of the Japanese (?) master going spackleless?  Pics or it happened...

Oops, apparently I clicked on this to view it and forgot to respond.

No, no living at it and doubt there will be. It would take too much of an investment. You pretty much have to have your own kiln to really crank out pieces.

I go without any splatter now but that's because I'm doing hand building instead of throwing on the wheel.  :P
