I'm sure many of you subscribe to Ceramic Arts Daily, and if so you know how they just deluge your inbox with videos, book suggestions, and I-don't-know-what-else. It's really out of hand, so I just have them go to a separate folder; otherwise they will fill up my inbox and maybe cause me to miss important emails. As a result, I have a folder with hundreds of emails from them, that I almost never open. Hint, CAD: send a few less and people might actually see them!
It's churlish to complain, though, when much of the content is so valuable. You can't possibly watch all the videos - or anyway I can't - but I have a little time now that my classes are on their December break so I am watching a few this morning. This one is really cool:
I was doing something like this with porcelain slip on paper, to make snowflake Christmas ornaments (yeah-yeah, ornaments: so sue me); but I never thought to use them to build with, or to slip both sides. So clever! As I was typing this it occurred to me that they would make good sprigs also.
I'm off to deliver pots this morning; but when I get back I need to make pots, so I can try this.

Just watch this same video on Sunday as well. Really interesting technique that can be adapted to several other uses. Enjoy.
I always think, "Ooh! I gotta watch that!" But then, I get distracted and seldom do!
One thing I DO watch over and over is handle techniques.
And have you ever notice how cruddy their search is? I look for an article with the actual word-for-word title, and I STILL can't find the darn thing!
But overall, LOVE the videos I see!
