First Pot of the Year

1/3/2016

After a 2.5 week break for the holidays, I went back to work today. ACC Baltimore is only 7 weeks away, and I have no pots. Looking back on my 2015 work records, I made just over 2000 pots. Here comes the first one of 2016. Happy New Year to all!

Can I ask what you're throwing on? It appears to be a square sheet that somehow adheres to the circular bat so you can throw but also slide it off easily without distorting the pot.

That is the North Star Universal Bat system:

Thanks Mea. That's really helpful. I'll look out for something similar in the UK.

How was Baltimore? Seems like the seven week rush must be over...not that the work ever ends.

I'm liking that sponge on the edge of the throwing pan. Do you use that to wipe excess clay off your hands?

The sponge is a cushion for my forearm, which I press against the lip of the splashpan when centering. Much more comfortable with a cushion.
