Fast Wheel, Firm Clay

I finished off this little sculpture today…
…and I mowed the grass, slipped and decorated a dozen oval cream jugs and threw 45 small mugs. It was an excellent day. 
I sometimes think that the “slow wheel/ soft clay” movement is a bit too precious. I’d love to teach a workshop one day with today’s blog title as the theme. I do like my clay to be somewhat firm but I have some extremely stiff clay from Highwater at the moment (I am NOT happy) and I’ve been waiting TOO long for the promised replacement. Thinking more and more about Laguna B-mix…
