You sure have a whole lotta different accents goin on there Gary! Most pronounced seems to be the MA one.
Great videos, and happy Birthday to you Jack
Massachusetts huh? We lived in New Hampshuh for 10-11 yea-ahs, I wonduh if I picked up a little accent theah?
Close enough! ha! Jim said it wasn't a Boston accent, but definitely very New England and Upstate.
you are the coolest potter!
Much, much fun to watch you in action, Gary. You make it all look so simple and easy. What I'd really love to see is you starting the lump of clay before any shaping begins. I remember my troubles learning to get it centered so it didn't wobble. ML
Oh yes, ML, we shall show that. It is not the most exciting looking stage to film, though, you see?
very cool video features gary! so just what IS "mud" anyways.. simply clay? and I was wondering how you attached handles too.. now I know!
just don't slip and let yoour yellow recipe go! ;)
mud=extra wet clay which you use to attach clay to clay parts
