So You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks!!




So as you see in the photos, I've been working in more of a production potter style than I'm used to - been busting pots out by the dozen trying to achieve uniformity . . . Of course mine will be so heavily altered in the end that perfect is not necessary but it's been fun trying. But I did start to have terrible back pain and couldn't figure out what was causing it so on a whim I decided to raise my wheel up and throw standing up. I thought it would be hard to adjust to but it really hasn't been. I'm loving it!!! I feel so productive right now that it's just flowing out of me!
Standing to throw combined with my new glazing method, I'm really starting to bust my work out. I hope to hit etsy hard and become more aggressive on there and have real results - we'll see if all goes as planned. I'm giving it my all from now through the holidays and just seeing what I can accomplish. Keep your fingers crossed as I spread my wings : )
More to come later!
