I've come to a conclusion today that I have a void in my life, I have no outlet for creativity.
It's not that I'm not creative, more that I'm not traditionally creative. I don't write, draw, paint, sculpt, or anything like that. The closest I ever got was mapping for Quake. My creativity is based in problem solving. I can't figure out how to apply that to a hobby of some sort.
What do you guys do?
And then after you've done that, assuming it doesn't break in the kiln and you have to start all over, you have the plethora of combinations of glazes to refire it with, with all their unknown (until you do them) chemical reactions.
Definately. I made this beautiful purple matte glaze as a test sample for my community college's ceramics facility. Last i heard they wanted to add it to the selection :)
Definitely pottery. Pulling a good (let alone tall) cylinder, from Clay is no easy feat.
