The dream of a place free from the need to do drudge work to pay the bills, freedom to make things without thinking "I need to sell x-much this week, to cover the bills". I confess, it ground me down, making rent-paying easy-sellers.<br />I envisage a little village, full of arty minded people, where everybody does their own thing, can collaborate if they like, there'd be good food and music, a quiet lake and a pondering tree, maybe a tourist trap happening place on main street, gallery, demos, courses in the summer.<br />Sigh. I can dream, can't I?<br /><br />I'll order the electrics up tomorrow. I've got enough bisc ware to do a glaze firing already!

I love squishing clay fresh from the ground, I love finding mediaeval potsherds in the furrows of a fresh-ploughed field, I love filling a kiln with roaring flame, I love that moment when you first crack the kiln door open after a firing, when it's still hot enough to flash-frizzle your hair if you get too close. Oh yes, I love it all. <br />I first outed myself on the blog.... here :<br />http://gritinthegears.blogspot.com/2008/06/of-allure-of-clay.html<br />I'm bad at labelling and tagging blogposts, so it's hard to remember where things are.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-38220847910014437212009-10-01T16:45:14.902-05:002009-10-01T16:45:14.902-05:00Gary!
