i like your spout better. i can't stand MH's spouts. not that they're bad, just a personal choice. i do see enough differences between them that i can tell yours from his(always could), the differences become exaggerated when you deco and fire.

dog. they stay off the tables and off the wet pots. i may be biased because I have 3 dogs and no cats. Well, we do have feral cats but we don't ever get near them and they don't come inside.

okay...i don't know them all but I see for sure Dan Finnegan(top left), Michael Simon and Kyle Carpenter in the middle, Linda Christianson(1st) and Mister Kline(3rd) himself on the bottom. Guesses: on the top an early Philbeck? Middle left: Cynthia Bringle? That's all I got.

I have a unique advantage with my teaching situation. the standard student clay body is my blend so all my scrap goes into the student slip barrels which the students remix into their clay. the school also provides my clay in compensation for my crap pay. i'm riding the gravy train.

Dear Don, I think you're spending too much time chewing on your nuts and not enough time developing a "deep understanding of great pottery." If you were a student of mine I'd knock your shit on the floor with a stick during critique.

Love,
Brandon

tile6 is pretty pricey here too...though not as much as grolleg. i'd have thought T6 would be cheaper there because you're relatively close to georgia.

diggin those slab dishes...give me some time, i'll cover the covers.

Stonepool...I'll give someone else a chance to write the name.

Re: yay or nay

nay. i think wider than longer looks better with handles like this. this may also be one of those times when you may consider function before form because I think sticking out that far they're just asking to be broken or caught on something and knocked off of something.

the foot reminded me of mark shapiro, but he wasn't making pots yet in the mid 80's, was he? i just doesn't look like any of the rock creek pots i've seen, but of course i haven't seen that many from the 80's.

gosh, i'm flattered. i'm not that smart, i'm really just lucky you know...and i spend way too much time at the computer between classes. so for this guy....i initially thought michael simon, but i don't know about the foot. lets hope i'm wrong, humility is good.

Re: What The ?

BrandonPhillips — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 13:56:45 -0000

but the now the question is what century/dynasty? that i don't know. kent harris would know with barely a glance, but he's too busy doing something silly like making pots.

Re: What The ?

BrandonPhillips — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 13:15:33 -0000

looks like a pot stuck in a saggar. chinese i'm guessing.

ha! just giving you a hard time. i only fire to 9.5...my slips look better there than 10+. was just curious if it's the same for you. does the clay start to warp?
