Just purchased enough dry clay to make pots for the next year or so.
Really enjoying all those of you who are blogging away.
Happy birthday Pippin

- Have been doing pottery for the past 13 years. Stoneware functional pottery is what I do. No one has ever accused me of being an artist, nor am I expecting that distinction in this lifetime. As a physician, I work at Lancaster General Hospital in the Occupational Medicine Department and Urgent Care Centers. I have a special interest in Addiction Medicine and have a radio show called "Trudge the Road" that deals with addiction and families that is syndicated in many parts of the United States.
Ho boy, here I am out of IT lately, and you mention me! Thank you :) I need to catch up on my blogs alright, gosh! All these pretty things you have made. I think that a physician like you is accustomed, perhaps, of making good use of your time? Squeeze in some patients, then finish pots later? I am a one trick pony, myself, only making pots, not treating patients at night :) let me tell you my lazy way with scrap clay---I scoop the glop out of my drip tray every day and wedge it into the next pots. That way I never have scraps building up, it is just always cycling through. I learned that after a) an apprenticeship in 1985 where I re-worked 3000 plus pounds of clay scraps for a master and b) when I first started full time and my studio was swamped with scraps, I had to do something to get rid of them! So I just started working them into the next ball of clay....
