making BAB's

Today was all about the big-ass-bowls. I have not thrown in about a month and these have been sitting on the to do list for a while. I was fine with the centering (usually a gong show with slip everywhere including my glasses) of the large lumps of clay. However, everytime I tried to pull up the wall I would instead remove large chunks of clay. It was getting really frustrating and I couldn't get the clay to stay wet. Simple solution (which came to me after about 5 tries) was to use my sponge to pull up the walls. Usually I just use my fingers, the sponge is better. The walls flew up easily.

I spent the morning running errands. A new display at Jita's Cafe and some more stock to the Gallery as things are selling well. Tomorrow is the last farmers market in the regular location and we have a special market happening up at KHMR on Sunday if anyone can make it. They have music and food, the gondola and shops are open, perhaps even Boo will out and about. My class registration is going well, only a few spots left. Now I'm off to throw more BAB's.
