Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: pottery, process, production

With a crazy storm brewing outside last night, I was tucked away safely inside
my studio trying to finish up my latest batch of mugs… unaware of everything
going on outside until the huge chinks of hail started hitting the windows.
So after I ran downstairs to play in the hail, it was all work until the mugs were done.
Yes… the cylinders I threw quite awhile ago… and stamped quite awhile ago…
and trimmed quite awhile ago… and have been spraying down daily to keep “workable.”
So tonight was the night… hail or no hail.

So I pulled a lot of handles to go onto the “plastic protected” cylinders…
let them set-up a bit and then set out to the attaching. Later that night… MUGS!!!
