eehaw! I had a great time processing the new clay with Dana yesterday. We got a quarter of what we dug cleaned and into a drying trough! For an explanation of the process click here. At right you can see our drying trough full of glorious clay slurry. When it is stiff enough to make things out of, I will run it through our pug-mill and then it is ready to use.
The Intention of this Blog
is to share my adventure of repurposing my family farm into art space and re-rooting myself in an 'old fashioned' way of life with my folks, the original Do-It-Yourselfers. It is a platform for me to share with others the things that I learn as I apprentice myself to my parents and grandparents.
"You cannot express, whatever your walk in life, unless you have a system of expression; and you cannot have a system of expression unless you have a prior system of cognate thinking and feeling; and you cannot have a system of thinking and feeling unless you have had a basic system of living." -Louis Sullivan "The Kindergarten Chats: The Art of Expression: 1"
