When Caturdsy lands on a Monday: Mabon was prowling for something fun so I folded him a toy from a square cut off the end of an envelope: halves this way by diagonals that way to make a rough cube, stiff enough to hold, and it's a perfect four-paw soccer ball he can bite & pick up

A wonderful workshop day throwing clay over at Higher Fire in San José today: two hours instruction with pre-centered lumps of clay. We each learned to press down, pull, draw our cylinder up, and shape it; picked a glaze color; they'll trim, put our name & date, glaze; we'll pick up in some weeks.
