An internet friend of mine who has recently retired,
or should I say, semi-retired has started making pottery again after a long
career in a field not exactly related to pottery. We have been discussing him
setting up a studio, materials and clays needed and what and how he would fire
for some time now and he just sent a photo of some of his "new" work.
I should take a moment to mention the Jim was a pottery a while back and
"followed his bliss" to another profession and has wanted back in to
the mud since we first started emailing back and forth a number of years ago.
The upshot to our recent emails and photo exchange is how lucky I am that come
Monday morning, I am back in the studio making pots, today working in stoneware
where I need to get some bowls and several covered jars and lids thrown today.
Added to this privilege is that fact that all I need to do is walk down a
flight of stairs and through a door and I am right in my studio where I have
24/7/365 access and only occasionally is it too cold or too hot to work in. I
can't deny, this makes Mondays a welcome sight.
