Mad Dog - Don't burn your house down brother. That kiln can be your best friend, but it also has the potential to be your worst nightmare. Fire = Very Hot. :) Hey Wheeler, thanks for stopping in...that one mug, and both of those sketches I did are heavily influenced by some drums at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. When I saw them on this thread below, they just screamed out to become mug reality....I wanted to follow the original design, but I also wanted to throw in a little Babalu as well...we'll see where it goes. Man, I've really got to get up to San Francisco and see these in person. Any time Thomas... :) Hey Atomic Tony, Love your work! Thanks for bouncing in...Those slab built mugs around that PVC pipe are just one easy way to roll up a little slab canvas for folks to work on...there are many ways one could go about doing the same thing I guess. I wrap the pipe with a piece of paper before rolling the slab around it; that way I can remove the pipe easily and the just pull out the paper after the pipe has been removed. Having the pipe in there is kind of nice as it gives you a hard surface behind the clay which makes it easier to work with. Sir B...you have to start letting Cammo make his own mugs! DONUTS!!! Cammo - You really have to start giving yourself more credit. You really are a fine sculptor...your two mugs you have done over here are some of my favorites. Your crazy, but your a genius! Not a lot to report for the next few days...It's time to glaze a butt load of test trees...I've got about 130 some odd little tests to do...
