I am a teacher and I can recognize the ability (or inability LOL) to teach in others. There are several "teaching" blogs that are excellent resources for the artist but one really stands out.
Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig of Minkiewicz Studios has a wonderful blog. It is a fun read as well as being a wealth of information on the fired arts, sculpting, and life in general. Her latest entry is about her foray into the minefield that is porcelain clay. Even if you never intend to touch "mud" in any form, if you enjoy a great read, you'll enjoy her blog! The above photo is of the tile that is the end product of her first adventure into the warped and wacky world that is porcelain mud.
I hope everyone has a safe New Year's eve and a wonderful 2011!
