Happy New Ears, Everyone

Same back to you! (I'm still trying to figure out though what happened to the year.... Shouldn't it still be early spring?)

and

May you learn to see the beauty in your pots that did not come out the way your minds eye had planned!

May you learn something new about yourself and/or your pots!

May give yourself many pats on the back for a job well done!

Donna

And may your glazes do everything you want them to do, and more!

I am reminded of the comment by an excellent Potter I worked with this October named Euan Craig, who said: " I find the difference between a good pot and a bad pot is about a week!!"

Take care all.

Great hugs and many wishes to you and everyone else of the lovelies on this group! They know who they are :-)

LOL. That was good to read.

What happens if your clay does freeze ?

The problem is going to be that it loses it's water and layering. They clay particles themselves would have to be too small to 'damaged' by the ice crystals but the nice layers you get from wedging would be shot to hell. I assume if it does not become dehydrated that you can simply rewedge it - otherwise you would have to completely dry it out, break it up, add it to water then either drain it in a sack or on a plasterboard to wedging consistency. I have never had clay freeze so I am mostly BSing here. Donna
