Friday's great breakfast and wonderful Med lunch were such a great way to end the week. We were so happy to find their great hummus today at Earth Fare in Raleigh! Thanks to Fletcher and Matt and Katie and all the gang at Roots for their gift of sustenance! I'm going to miss eating a great tasting breakfast or lunch out of one of Lori's beautiful ROOTS bowls!Matthew Stockardhttp://www.inkstonegallery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642037349384620362.post-84741786134976565542009-07-25T22:02:51.476-04:002009-07-25T22:02:51.476-04:00How thankful I am for such an astonishing week.

Help me get more of a reduction look from my community studio's oxidation kiln firings. 3. Use a wheel again (the purchase of a slab-roller some months ago had transformed me into a slabber entirely). 4. Study glaze chemistry a bit - at least enough to know a little more about what element makes a glaze go a little more this or that way. 5. Make some progress in fresh ideas about surface decoration, and formulate a more mature sense of direction. Well, Lori's a master teacher, and gave careful consideration to each of these goals. We met them all, and surpassed my expectations in each area (who knew I would, at the end of the week, be browsing craig's list looking for a kickwheel). All that, coupled with tons of fun and gentle wisdom. Looking to grow your ceramic skills? Get Crazy Green! Thanks so much, Lori!Matthew Stockardhttp://www.inkstonegallery.comnoreply@blogger.com
