The annual studio cleanup
· Hands · Clay · Patience
Found three forgotten test tiles, a bag of hardened slip, and a bowl I'd written off that survived. Cleaning the studio is really an inventory of everything I meant to finish and didn't — yet.
I make stoneware in a small studio: mugs that fit the hand, bowls that stack, a few pieces that only exist to test a glaze. This site is where I keep process notes, kiln logs, and the occasional batch that's ready to leave the shelf. Making is slow on purpose — I'd rather finish six honest pots than forty rushed ones.
Studio notes on ceramics, slow making, and things built by hand. I tend to return to the same subjects more than once; the second pass is always slower, and better.
If this note resonated, the journal index has more, and the gallery holds related pieces. For a hello, try contact.
