ceramicartsdaily.org is my favorite e-subscription. No quibbling about that.

Today it’s hand-building for the video, but on any day Ceramic Arts Daily is my fave.
It’s free, (my favorite price) and chock full of great clay-related info. This magazine keeps my love of clay play alive between semesters.
The current article and video is about African drum making over a mold. Raku firing is used and the result is graceful and beautiful. Now I want to make one. I want to hear one, and I want to play one.
I would like to experiment with the sounds produced by different firing temperatures, so I guess that means making several copies of the same pot, which could be interesting.
Well, there’s a project for low-tech art and craft communities. I suppose they would market well.
WOW, that whole paragraph was the direct result of my Ceramic Arts Daily free email.
Thanks CAD.
