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

So tonight during class, I trimmed my demo mugs & put them back under plastic while I did my handle-pulling demo. As I was getting ready for the attachment demo… someone (me) “might have” knocked over my bag of clay & it landed on one of my trimmed cylinders! Great demo, huh?!!! Actually it was good for them to see… things happen… it’s just clay!!!

I was going to call it quits and reclaim it. But thanks to Andrew’s encouragement, I “resurrected it” with a little ball of clay to keep it sitting level. Not ideal… but it might be funny… or it might lead us to something new?! So it has a handle now… it survived class… for now anyways ?!
