50 pounds in the morning

There's something about clay still wet and fresh from the wheel. It never seems more alive than at this very moment. If you can't discern the shapes, there a really big spice bottle up front, a pitcher, a small tea pot, some vases and bowls.  And a two pint mug! Threw some plates too, which I don't like doing as much but we need them desperately. It is remarkable how therapeutic a few hours in the studio can be. I would do it more often if I could get in the groove for just an hour or so. Seems I have to throw a whole box of clay or it's not worth the effort.
