I truly enjoy your step by steps of your artistic process. thank you for sharing your talents with all of us. who ever wins those is a lucky dog.
I have been carrying this compliment with me for a few days. I am the lucky dog, however I am not an artist this is part of my 10,000 hrs. thank you sir.

One of the requirements to become expert at something is to instruct others, to teach.

If you notice I numbered the pots.

3 for the contest are done but to make use of the kiln space and get a more consistent firing, it needs to be full. I need 6 pots to fill it. This is where we are at tonight.

This is the remaining clay

Unfortunately I need 3kg to make the pieces due to cutoff/waste.

The following will demonstrate the wedging technique a little better. I am mixing 2 colors of clay for the final pot of the series.

The good part is you're entered, the bad part.....you have to wait till tomorrow to find out if you won!

Awe shit. Looks like I communicated ineffectively in the op... deadline is tomorrow, winner announced the day after due to a technicality. LOL.

Was thinking about your clay collection SS, yesterday , on the badlands. Every kinda clay imaginable.
Pretty sure I was treading on dolomite.
Soft enough to yield and make footprints, crusty enough to skin a knee. I have been out there when it was raining. Even a goat would feel drunk on that slippery snot.

It is the ground in these shots.

I was trying to get light to pass through the crystal. Can't pick it up to photograph. Was on protected site.
