(pots by Gary Rith)
Glazed earlier and just finished these guys and my hands are little frozen ice cubes. 16 degrees outside, and maybe 17 degrees inside the studio? Where's the teapot? I gotta thaw out.

man you need finger gloves.. with build in wiring for heat and water resistant for non-electrocuting! .. does all that cold work lead to arthritis?
oh gawd,don't joke about arthur-itis.... sure do ave red and chapped hands
I doubt finger gloves would work, because you use most of your hand don't you, Gary?
I used to get terribly chapped hands working winters in the darkroom until a doc recommended this great silicone cream. Like a liquid glove.
Please tell me you at least have a little space heater out there. It's been 25 below here with the wind chill and I cannot imagine having bare hands for more than a minute.
I am never going to whine about it being cold in my garagio again. Unless there is ice on my bucket of water.
I like that bowl, it looks pretty cool.
there is suffering for one's art and work.. but this??.. oh I realize arthur-itis isn't funny (wasn't trying actually) but wondering what you can do to help minimize the cold wet hands?
From my many years ago fling with pottery, it's pretty well an inescapable situation. Wet hands are just a necessary part of it. And, while all my tiny experience was in summer, thus no probs, I can't imagine how miserable it could get!
