greenstormPottery today, kind of last minute. I'm trying to throw bigger pieces. It's neat to see that a lot of my skill actually has been retained. Last time I could center ok, and I threw maybe the biggest bowls I've done? Then today was bigger again. Structurally everything is very different with the larger pieces: this clay is pretty smooth and soft which means it tends to sag with the wide curves I like.
I'm putting off doing plates for now, though one of the clay folks used the slab roller today and it worked so really there's no reason not to. Well, except that there's very little vegetation out. My last series of plates was botanical impressions, it might be neat to do a spring series labelled with latin name and date of each full leaf to open and be impressed on the clay, actually.
Wickson apples and one arkansas black are peeking above the soil. I think all my tomatoes are up. Peppers are starting. Potatoes keep popping up randomly, it really is a less domesticated seed (domestic seeds are generally selected for early uniform germination whether the selector intends to or not, since those seeds outcompete the others in a farm/garden setting unless one takes care to capture and space the later ones).
Chives are up! No nettles or asparagus yet, but a touch of grass and the chives. Come to think of it I should go back into the chive field and make myself an omlette.
