2017-05-24 - Wednesday - Sculpture clay

My friend Dave sent me some Black Mountain sculpture clay from Aardvark Clays in CA. He told me how he swirls it with Coleman Porcelain and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some. It arrived and I threw one pot with it and then decided to try swirling it with Phoenix from Highwater.

Very interesting stuff. It's very gritty. After all, it is sculpture clay.

2009-10-16 Friday - Asheville & Highwater Clay

On Friday we headed up to Asheville, NC to tour UNC Asheville for Stephanie. It worked out well since I had the opportunity to stop by Highwater Clays and pick up some kiln shelves ordered by Clayworks. They close at 4:30 pm and we arrived at 4:00. (whew!)

I thought I'd look for a long MKM rib while I was there, but the only long rib they had was this REALLY long one. Oh well, I bought it anyway. We'll see how it works.

Asheville is a great town full of creative people and fun shops and galleries. I wouldn't mind making regular visits there to enjoy the atmosphere and people. If you haven't been, you need to go. If it's been a while, you need to go back. If you live there, I'm jealous.
