As you can see, Moya (“Tiny Kitten” even though she’s not quite so tiny any more) is a huuuuuuuge help when I’m photographing ceramics fresh out of the kiln. Speaking of fresh out of the kiln, I had a good firing on Saturday. It would have been Friday, but I wasn’t quiiiite ready; some pieces [...]
Swirling slip always makes me smile. The sense of anticipation, that this could turn into ANYTHING. This can be… ANYTHING. I can make it into whatever I want. Opportunity. Anticipation.
