When I left Texas for Australia 14 years ago, I thought it was for a few months visit. Texas Pottery Studio

Little did I know that I’d get a job as a professor at Bond University and that we would make a life in Australia.  So I left my pottery studio in Texas as though I’d be right back!!!

Since I’m in Texas for a while, I decided to clean up my pottery tools – shameful to leave them like this!!!

Pottery tools
Put them on the lawn and took a water hose to them!!!

But what is crazy is how many pottery tools I have!!! It’s quite amazing! And I’ve got even more in Australia…so why the obsession!?

I actually don’t know, but perhaps I thought that the tool would make me a better potter.  Not so, but they don’t hurt!  Also, it’s so fun to try/play with a new tool and see the results.

I found  a tool amongst all the others that stood out…I even wondered how’s I’ve managed to survive without it!!

I cant remember where I got it or if I made it…but it’s awesome!!!
