Re: Revisiting Design of Foot-soaking Bowl

I like the handle you've put in the bowl and the rubber coating sounds interesting. How heavy is the bowl maybe two handles would make it easier to move it,

If not a rubber coating perhaps some rubber bumpers on the bottom ?

happy holidays to you and your family

I was almost thinking I liked that unusual form of the upside down vases till I saw the heading that they were upside down. Ha. I like that trisdale design on the soul pots.

Last night I had a dream I got an order for a set of dishes at a show and I was so happy, then I got several more and even more. When I got home I was actually saddened at the prospect of making so many of the same item, guess I'm not a production pottery. What I enjoy most is making the one off items and designing new forms. These thoughts and more have been going through my head for the past several months, guess I'll see where they take me.

I am definitely cooped up living in the RV these past 7 months and can't wait to get into my new home and studio within the next two weeks. been wondering about all this cold weather though, here's hoping spring, summer and fall make up for the arctic vortex.

that bridge is amazing, we just went over a two span to St. Simons Island in Georgia and thought that spectacular, so coincidental to me that I stop by your blog and see this one.

I'm surprised the glazes don't melt off the pots at those temps, very nice effects with the layering.

The second one is my favorite, but I like all of them and they look especially nice with the pink blossoms in the background.

I hate cracks; I just took a large bowl out of the kiln and it has a small crack along the rim but not all the way through, I am just sick, congrats on the order.

While I was at the Chatam House in Southern Pines before the C&B opening I overheard a phone call asking about "a Michael Kline Pot", so people are searching you out, don't be blue (isn't that a line from a song?). The buildup to a show is tense and naturally afterwards there will be a lull or let down in feelings.
