Hey Simon, I just want to say thanks so much for all of your instruction and shared experience. It's really made the difference between me toying around with pottery to seriously studying and practicing it. Thanks so much, you're very generous, and some day hopefully soon I'll sell some pots and buy yours to enjoy in appreciation. Conor
Thank you for showing us how to make bud vases, Simon. I have been trying throw these, have had some success, but find it difficult to work with such a small piece of clay. I will keep at it. And let you know how it goes. Thank you again. Have a nice day.
Happy Holidays Simon~ I recently took my very first pottery class and wondered if you could give your thoughts on Sanding ...Do you sand your pots and wipe them with a damp sponge before bisque? Is there a rule of thumb for this step? (ie: if your pot looks rough SAND IT...if it looks nice and smooth just give it a wipe down?) ~Thanks in advance if you are able to reply~!

Thank for the tip on the relationship between wedging and kneading and collaring.
