checking in . . .

the new manager at the studio will be a welcome change. 

he gave a demo last week on basic throwing because someone asked him to.  that's great!  he also demonstrated rmvg a item from the wheel w/o warping it and when it's not on a bat.  i realized later i'd been doing that when i was potting b4.  i may brave the thursday mayhem and first friday to see his demos on glazing and alternate firing techniques.

i could use a book on different kilns and specs for their construction.  i'm looking at these two books for now:  The Kiln Book Olsen and Kiln Building with Space-Age Materials Colson.

i think when my lease is up if i'm still potting and the thrill hasn't warn off, then i'm gonna move to a larger apt if i don't have to sacrifice much in the way of patio space and get a small kiln.

tata for now.  the kitchen awaits.

regards
