Here are a few more images of shino pots that are around our house. You can see the W. Mackenzie influence in the finger wipes. I think all of these have the Virgina Wirt Shino on them. This bowl had some wood ash sprinkled on it just after it was glazed. It’s approx. 15″ diameter. [...]

: Friday , December 9, 2011 Tools The VERY Basics I promised some of my students that I would list the basic tools they should have in their kit . nbsp One woman I know had trimming tools that were so dull- she may as well have been using a butter knife .

Pin tool , wire , towel , gum all that goes without . saying Tools are very personal and as you develop as a potter you find the ones you love and hate . I Like tools that feel good in the hand and do a good job . I am a Bison fan and a Bamboo .It feels like December is moving really fast. I am finishing up holiday orders and trying the build up an inventory of Yarn Bowls for these demanding Knitters. I have a glaze kiln to run tomorrow, then a bisque in 4-5 days and then a final glaze. That's the end for 2011. Full Stop.I keep promising to post a brief on tools and the basics for serious newbies or oldies that need to replace the main ingredients. Maybe tomorrow. Stay Tuned.
