A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play

This morning was very quiet.
Not a cloud in the sky. No crashing waves.
Not a lot of commotion going on along the lakefront at this time of the day.

Just a beautiful & serene sunrise creating some wonderfully “silent” silhouettes.

Another platter stamped and waiting to be trimmed.
It’s spending the night under plastic… hoping to trim it in a couple days.
It always seems like platters take a “lot” longer to get to a good trimming leatherhard state
than anything else. If you flip them to trim too soon, the center sags and causes problems!!!

Sure, the sunrise was pretty…
but what’s with that one big cloud to the south?!
                             …and encroaching very quickly.

This morning was windy & cold.
In hindsight I should have brought out the tights & winter gloves?!
Who knew it was June 1st???

With the brisk wind blowing in off the lake, it was also bringing one large cloud mass.
Just hoping to see the sun before it gets covered completely.

And with that wind also came some crashing waves!
