I broke one of my own rules - I always insist that students who come to me weigh their clay so that they can get a measure of what the clay will make before they start. This pot was just made from an unweighed lump. Brad, the last few inches were thrown on afterwards - my arm isn't long enough to get all the way down otherwise. It's agreat way of making tall pots and I can get much better shapes by doing it that way. Yes, Joe's looking like a right hippie these days. Was talking ot an old gent about you on Saturday when I delivered the Flower Lady jug - he remembered your visit to the church in Cheriton.doug Fitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413690733976558551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-14154218732885807522009-02-21T01:29:00.000+00:002009-02-21T01:29:00.000+00:00Is that puppy made in one piece?

You are right about lack of self confidence, and self doubt being destructive, they most certainly are when in excess. The funny thing is that they also seem an essential part of the make up of a creative person, and can spur one onwards, if not too overwhelming. Just a question of balance. Thank you for your most helpful and honest blog, it is a real inspiration.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709786391671578715.post-42717129553585688002009-02-20T01:31:00.000+00:002009-02-20T01:31:00.000+00:00I would seriously be trying to fix my daughter up ...I would seriously be trying to fix my daughter up with one of those cute boys of yours if we were closer!
