I took my pottery wheel outside on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul a few days ago (one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities), setup a few tables displaying my work, and had at it. It was wonderful: a warm sunny sunset striking the wheel, a few motorists turning their heads in curiosity, and a few passersby that stopped to talk about how cool it is to see pottery made, plus I sold a few pieces. All-in-all, a great night. Plus, I made several pieces on the wheel that were 'keepers.' I'm heading back into my stoneware clay supply for a bit, as I'd like to try out some new cobalt recipes. One more load of redware clay to fire though, so stay tuned for pictures of that!
