Tel Hai

 

A month into the first semester,and everyone is hard at work: the first year students are getting down to throwing cylinders with enthusiasm and some success,the second year are cranking out bowls for the Symposium [have you booked your ticket yet?],while the third year students agonize about their projects and generally run the show- loading kilns,mixing glazes &c.
Back in the studio,I have 160kg. of Meir's special anagama clay,fresh out of the extruder,not to mention a sizeable pile of stoneware,some bags of porcelain and even some earthenware for a plant-pot project- and,of course, a gleaming new kiln. I haven't worked seriously in the studio for a few months,but the time cannot be far off [I hope]- my fingers are beginning to itch to get into all that clay...
