When I left Texas for Australia 14 years ago, I thought it was for a few months visit. Texas Pottery Studio
Little did I know that I’d get a job as a professor at Bond University and that we would make a life in Australia. So I left my pottery studio in Texas as though I’d be right back!!!
Since I’m in Texas for a while, I decided to clean up my pottery tools – shameful to leave them like this!!!
But what is crazy is how many pottery tools I have!!! It’s quite amazing! And I’ve got even more in Australia…so why the obsession!?
I actually don’t know, but perhaps I thought that the tool would make me a better potter. Not so, but they don’t hurt! Also, it’s so fun to try/play with a new tool and see the results.
I found a tool amongst all the others that stood out…I even wondered how’s I’ve managed to survive without it!!
I cant remember where I got it or if I made it…but it’s awesome!!!
Strangely enough one simply cannot work without ones stash of tools even though one often only uses one or two of them. Thank you for sharing.
I love tools. Are you selling them?
Sorry – no! I NEED THEM ALL! Haha!
All the best,
Marian
I do this – collect tools. Especially ribs! Then every couple of years I pare down again.
And yet somehow I always have a pile!
