Today I had a busy morning in the studio working on a plate illustrating some characteristics of a friend, MOK. It gets too hot in there around midday, sometimes 34 degrees and more with the kilns going. So I came home and started making a medium size pinch pot for my cactus’s offspring. I like it so much and I can foresee a direction of development so now I’m feeling quite serious about this humble pot. I’ll take a picture of all this sometime so you can see. The pinching method is such a satisfying tactile way of making and I’m feeling that familiar excitement for clay. There’s just nothing like it.
