PERSPECTIVE

It seems like I always regret leaving things to do over the weekend, in this case, I had to carved 5 terra cotta slipped pots including a covered serving bowl. I had a brief window on Saturday to attend  to the pieces but caught up with some house things and dealing with a guy quoting on some much needed yard project well beyond my skill set. So the day started with having to carve the pots, then I made two square plates and last but not least I did get to sit down and throw two covered serving bowls/ lids (CSB) and two 3lb cylindrical covered jars/ lids. I would have liked to have gotten more done but there were other studio "chores" that needed to be addressed including making up black and white slips and making a small batch of sandy stoneware so that it has some amount of time to mature (perhaps a week or two?) currently drying out a bit on plaster bats. In the end the results of a Monday weren't all that bad and driven by some classic 70s rock, which is IMO better than digging holes in the ground and expecting to find the lost treasure of the Maya in upstate NY. It is all about perspective.
