Raku on 7th

Hey, Mud Buds. Thanks for the invite. Can't make Feb 7th...would enjoy a daytime raku event another time.

Thinking is dangerous

So I'm thinking we need to take a notion to entertain the idea of thinking about considering the possibility of maybe proposing a collaborative project.

We could do a large collaborative piece or everyone could do some work within a specific set of parameters.

The possibilities, while not quite endless, are pretty impressive.

What does everyone think?

Raku?


Is anyone interested in a raku on Saturday, February 7, 2009 at ~10:00 a.m. (or whatever time works for everyone)? I have added it to the calendar as a possibility. Please let us know by leaving comments on this post so we know what the interest level is.

assundry comments about nothing

Dear John,

Another week away from class? If you miss any more classes Greg will surely drop your grade by a full letter!

About a raku session... how would you feel about the morning / afternoon of the 7th? If we try the new alcohol reduction technique we should have as much light as possible. (I can’t see good especially at night.)

I just read your post about Ruth’s Chris on Sunday. That is one of my favorite steaks. Mel and I went there last night for her birthday, very tastey. Then she drug me to see Rent afterward. I like a lot of music but apparently I haven't attained the level of sophistication that causes me to like musicals. We left at halftime, I am not sure who was winning.

Congrats Becky!

An Emmy! That is impressive - we will buy you a celebratory beverage soon.

Emmys!

Just in case you were unaware, Becky, Fred, and their associate, Mike won regional Emmys in the "Composer/Arranger" category for the TV show "Raggs". It's Fred's fourth Emmy and Mike's and Becky's first.

How cool is that?!


Wednesday night blues

It looks like I might miss class again on Wednesday since I have to go to St. Pauls, NC again. Trips to St. Pauls have fallen on a Wednesday three weeks in a row. Oy.

swore I would never blog

Well John, now you have gone and done it. How could I not blog when you did all the work to set it up.

About the calendar and all that, great idea, but I'm no help whatsoever at helping you figure out how to get it set up how you want.

I'm working on my three teapots for the gas kiln. 25 lbs of clay used and I haven't even made the handles yet. Threw 12 spouts today. I sure do hope I manage to get three usable ones out of them. I usually screw up one or two per teapot.

Calendar, Take 2

I have put a link over on the right sidebar that brings up the calendar. Now we just need to know how to update the calendar.

things that make you go hmmmmm

embedded code actually embeds the item, go figure! not the effect i was after - was hoping for an embedded object at the top hierarchy so we could see it without drilling down. You guys have any ideas?

let's share a calendar

Thanks John, you are the #$%^% as the saying goes! There must be away to include the public calendar we all have access to on this blog page. Is there a way to edit the layout of the blog and embed this info ""

Anyway - you guys feel free to add whom ever to the public calendar and we can start to use it to track firing info and other dates of interest. Then when the website gets renovated maybe we can just embed or link to and have everyone use instead of reinventing the wheel.

OK that about sums up my info for the morning.

First is first

I am making the first post on the new blog! Woo-Hoo!

(Somebody had to do it.)

There.

The ice is broken. The gauntlet is thrown down. The turkey's in the oven. The cat's out of the bag. The horse is out of the barn. The train has left the station. You have some broccoli in your teeth. What?

Well, the point is, now it's up to everyone else to jump on board.
