i haven’t, except when the plastic bat wasn’t seated right or if there is a little bit of debris around the pin; those bats fit kind of on the snug side. I admit, I’m not a real fan of those plastic bat as they’re not rigid enough for me.

Hi Chanda – I’m using the WordPress platform and pay to have my site hosted. I chose to go this route as I wanted my website and blog to both come under the umbrella same web site URL in hopes of maximizing traffic to it. WordPress gives you templates that, if you choose and are handy with code, you can modify to give your blog/website a slightly different look. It definitely helps if you have some background in programming and web development because things change and the help forums are imho pretty cumbersome. I would much rather make pottery than continually do maintenance. sorry to take so long to reply, but i hope that’s a help. A.

I love the portability of it but has anyone else had the bats wobble like the holes in the bat are not quite deep enough?

I think it is important to make a distinction between “ritual” and “procedure” and “routine.”
I think of ritual as being something that is at some level repeating a sacred or shared act. I think of procedure as something that is prescribed to get the same results every time. I think of routine as something that is done over and over because of habit.
As a potter, I agree with the discipline of getting your space clean and organized. Pottery for me is not a ritual, however, because I seem never to do the same thing at the wheel once I get started, perhaps because I am not a production potter.
I appreciate your thoughts and your work, so don’t take what I am saying as criticism. I am a fellow Alabamian. I am from Birmingham, but I now live in Pennsylvania. I went to medical school at USA in Mobile.
Keep up the good work!

I often see throwing pots as little rituals in themselves especially in trying to get the same shape multiple times. I don’t think theres anything wrong with routine so long as you’re happy with it!

Ah yes I remember saying just that when I was young, I’ll never be like that how boring. Ha. Now I too see the benefit of rituals or routines. Hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving.

Your pottery is very exquisite and impeccably made. I love the carved designs. They are lovely and the detail on them is amazing.

hehehe well thanks, Faith You might like to check out some of the pottery blogs I have listed in the right hand margin as well. I am betting you’ll find some of them pretty helpful or, at the very least, inspiring.

Anne, not only do you make beautiful and artful pots, your writing is astounding. I really enjoyed this post and have saved it in my “favorites”….as a newer potter, it helps me understand more about what is or is not going on in my own studio!
