Two months since posting. The school year is more than half over.
getting sick was a big step back.
posting the goals again:
1) finish off the buckets
2) finish off the molds
3) use or recycle the cardboard (reserving the possibility of finding a neat location to keep a reasonable supply)
4) have no little plastic cups of glaze, and a reasonable, neatly arranged number of bottles and colors
5) I will do 4 shows/sales
6) I will set aside at least one 4 hour block each week to produce new work. - changed to 8 hours a week in blocks of one hour or more.
7) turn all the drywall scap into ware boards and distribute among home, school, and commercial studio by the end of october
In the last two months I took a few drywall boards to the commercial studio, and used some of the cardboard. Turns out I need some of the drywall to do a patch job in the basement, so it is good that it isn’t all gone.
i’ve added Enough students to be short on buckets again (great for my classes) but have spent little to no time in the studio, so wedging would be good at minimum!
No progress on glaze or molds at home, but one of my class fathers just built me a beautiful, inspirational shelf for glazes at school.
today I visited that show i was thinking about for next year. I am definitely going to apply. I talked to one of the potters at the show and exchanged some ideas, and she suggested I join the local (local being a Tristate area) semi-professional organization (which she belongs to and which has two shows a year.)
i also am am feeling inspired about creating some new work.
