Thanks for liking and letting me know.

Will be trying the use of slip … picking up loads of ins & outs from you! The moisture situation is on my mind during freezing temperatures… fresh-ish pots &3days away😳🤞🏻… I am only heating with wood in ThePottery … find myself hauling wear boards into the house… during this cold snap, working in the house for now… back out next week🥶🤞🏻 Thanks Jeff

Took me some time to build the courage but didn't really learn till doing it, though slipping the first time was a bit of a mess. HOW TO. Best thing I ever did was move wheel into 5X5'' corner of the office. 50lbs. clay warming on the steps, wedging on the floor. It can overflow with second ware boards drying on table. If they go out to the cold studio to soon the high hydration level attracts the frost even when air temp may be above freezing. In my old videos I'm sitting out there, tons of clothes and still freezing, mostly I just didn't go out there or make pots.

Those bundt pans are so amazing! I cant believe how much of everything you have made!

I'm at the wheel once or twice a week, then there are all the other pottery jobs. I've been working with clay part time since 1979, the Bundts are getting easier, and I have to say even amazing me. Thanks for sharing in the amazement.

Thank you for the tips. Hope its warmer there than here, -45 with the windchill even to cold for the dog, she hates being in the house but gave in the last week but to day it is a little warmer and is back to barking at the monsters that might be out there.

What is your slip recipe? Love your bunt pans.

It's a secret. I'm just using a white clay turned to slip from Standard over their #211 hazelnut clay and for the dark their clay #112 Umbrian Black. I would be wiser to use a recipe that often has kaolin, ball clay, silica, frit and a colorant stain. I justify my actions that 'it's working' and once upon a time we just dug up what works from the ground. I think I remember one of the big boys, Van Gilder might have been doing this too but most probably making more informed choices.

Looks like you’ve been working hard too. Maybe I missed it but is that foam inside your damp box?
