Getting in Shape to Blog

Actually, the below post was submitted by Kathleen King during our "intro. to blogging" session at last night's monthly SMCG meeting. Thank you, Cathie Cantara, for helping us all get over our fears and ignorance about getting into the blogosphere. I'm sure there will be many posts to come, and more member blogs to link to. The next Southern Maine Clay Guild meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd, 6 p.m., at Pasture's Edge Studio, 296 Middle Rd., Lyman. The tentative focus of this meeting will be pricing. We will also discuss spring and summer activities. Another upcoming event to mark on your calendars is our first pitfiring/raku firing of this year, on May 21st (rain date May 22nd). This will also be held at Pasture's Edge Studio, at the above address. For more information call Cathy at 985-7986.

Our SMCG meeting this evening was to learn how to blog. How are we doing?

Great Job on this Blog. The Clay Show Looks Great Too!

This blog is a great idea.  I want to hear about the results on the F4 substitute.  I use F4 in a lot of my glazes.   I will also try to find out some info from my NHIA teacher.
Does anyone want to share their favorite SHINO cone 10 recipes??  There are so many out there,  I don't know which one to test next.  My Malcolm Davis has way too much crawling.....
I'm looking for a more stable reliable one.

I can't wait until it warms up and we have our next pit firing.  I'm going to start making a few pieces soon.
