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

This afternoon in the studio, I tried to “finish up” all of Amy’s demo pieces from last night.
A little touching-up, a little cleaning, a little trimming – and now they’re drying! I also took
some time to stamp the plate that I made last night as part of my “scheduled” class demo.
So now, that too is drying, but just to the point where I can trim it!

Hi Gary,
I’m so glad I have stumbled across your blog. I’ve been looking for inspiration on stamping clay…looks like I have found it. Is it ok to reference your blog on my pottery blog and to put your blog up as a favorite site? I hope so because I already have.
Thanks, Rowena

HEY ROWENA – I’m glad you’ve found me & my blog! If you’re looking for stamping inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. I love stamping! And have hundreds & hundreds of stamps & texture-making tools. Also, you’ll have to “suffer through” some of my other ramblings, projects, summer camps, bike rides, sunrises and more! And of course, you can add me to your blog links. I hope I can keep you inspired & stamping!!! Thanks for stopping by… GARY

You have such beautiful work! I’m a resident in Connecticut. Where abouts are your shops? I would be thrilled if you offered any pottery classes. Please e-mail me 🙂 Thank you!

HEY AMBER –
I live & work in Chicago… as well as teaching pottery classes at Lillstreet Art Center. I’m only in a few stores (by choice) in the Midwest… Chicago, Southern Illinois, Louisville and Michigan. Nothing very close to Connecticut. I just “hate” packing & shipping pottery. I also do the summer art fair circuit in the Chicago suburbs. If you’re ever in the Windy City stop by and say hi. You can also follow me on Facebook to keep updated on a regular basis! Check out “Fire When Ready Pottery” – and then click the LIKE button!
And thanks for checking in on my website! – GARY
