| Look at this sparkling slab rolling table... |
Last spring, I officially switched clay bodies. So, instead of using white clay, I'm using Navajo Wheel, which is a rich, brown clay. I've learned that the brown clay seems to be messier. It is more powdery when dry. So, I've done more periodic studio cleaning throughout the summer. Today, I cleaned up again, in order to make more room for finished work. At the beginning of September, I'm going to start packing up the living room, in order to convert it into a "gallery" for Open Studios. It's a process that forces me to stop and evaluate my work. From now until the end of October, I won't be working in wet clay very much. I feel like I've made less work this summer, but higher quality work. Trying to pick four or five objects and making several of each object, helped me to feel less scattered. Heading off to make some quick critique notes in my sketchbook!

| Tool board scrubbed of slip drips... |

| Room on the counter to put finished work... |
 |
| It feels nice to be cleaner... |
 |
| Wiped down all of the tools, stamps, and sprig molds... |
 |
| It's nice to have an empty counter, for a change... |
 |
| Keeping track of wall pieces... |
 |
| More old wall work... |
 |
| Purged the bulletin board... |
 |
| Cleaned off the kiln staging shelves in the garage... |
 |
| Piles and piles of plates to sell... |
 |
| My old baby finally fits back into the garage... |
 |
| Watching all of this cleaning is exhausting... |
