Fun in Mud

This happened December, but I wanted to post my last batch of pottery ever fired at the college.  I have to admit it was quite depressing packing up and knowing I would never be back.

I live to create, and have found pottery to be my most successful medium.  I don't remember connecting or caring much when I enrolled in pottery during high school, that my paternal grandfather taught pottery at the same level.  Now that I have developed his same love of mud, it's quite fun to talk with him about all the well known potters he has met and taken workshops with and look at all the pieces adorning almost every inch of his home.  I should probably try and get him and I together to sling some mud before it's too late.

I cannot wait for the day I have my very own studio, which I've been promised by Mr Medic himself. (One reason I love him so much.  He loves to make me happy and wants to fulfill my dreams)  He really wants to make a glaze for me called "chandee brown" (brown is my maiden name)  This is a perfect example of his nerd factor.   He knows how to do that and is actually excited about it because he has taken chemistry and just about every other course that would enable him to do glaze calculating.  Oh the benefits of marrying a nerd!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I do!
