Cool! cool! So nice that Blue Sky is doing so well and has so many users!

At least you DO the laundry. As far as I’m concerned, you can pull your clean clothes out of your basket all week.

I’ve been making art for most of my long life. I have steadily improved, mostly from continuously making art. After all these years, what I make never looks like what I think in my brain. It’s not a problem, it’s problem solving.

The Brooklyn Ceramic Arts Tour, May 18/19, is fast approaching. I might be ready by then😄 BrooklynCeramicArtsTour.com for the Brooklyn-wide map and info. See me, and 19 other wonderful ceramic artists, at the OA Can Factory (listed as in Park Slope on the map). Visit Brooklyn, and see great art!

Are you in the NYC area? Come to Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition! Opening this weekend, festivities Saturday 4/13 (I will be there on Sunday). 481 Van Brunt St, Brooklyn, NY 11231. Weekends through the fall, 1-6 pm. Makers Market; 3 shows/2 of them juried/shows change every 6 weeks. Bwac.org

New marbleized plates (and shards of the big one that didn’t make it) going into today’s bisque firing. Next weekend I hope they will be glazed and in place at BWAC (481 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, 11231, weekends), for the season opening. I’ll be there on Sunday. Come visit!

Yeah, there’s a ratio: the cuter it is, the more work involved

I’m playing with marbleized clay—dark brown stoneware and porcelain. I don’t know if it will lead to a body of work, but I’m having fun. Now to figure out glazing😊

Is anyone here going to/at NCECA? Please drop by the Clay Art Center booth, G08, to see my mugs and a bunch of fabulous mugs by amazing ceramic artists! Through this Saturday in Richmond, VA. If you can’t get there, find them on instagram @clayartcenter , @nceca

Yeah—porcelain definitely wants a more delicate touch. I also leave more clay in the floor, to support the curve, to be trimmed out later. You can also try different porcelains; they all throw differently
