For everyone who follows Mud Souls Pottery, you know that Kay offered a drawing for one of her newly designed crystal mugs. And guess what, I won!! Kay asked that whoever receives it she would like an honest review. To that end, I’ve put together a video of the unboxing with my initial thoughts. Spoiler alert, her mug is even more gorgeous in person than on video. I’m looking forward to continue to test. https://youtu.be/7Gz0G8h5qYg?is=MIEqoImnhkjryx0G

Has anyone started their ice-cream bowl? I have an idea but haven't implemented it yet.

This evening, I finished my third sculpture. I didn’t have the right kind of clay, so I used what I had. The grog was too heavy. But I still think it turned out OK. It is only 5 1/2 inches tall, or 14 cm.

I saw where Kevin mentioned (in a Skool call) that the Hartley and Noble Bat Systems were very different, in a good way from the bat systems that can be found in the US. Kevin, I would love to hear more on why that is and your experience with using the Hartley and Noble Bat System. Also, anyone else in the US who uses that system, please offer your opinion. I know the cost would be crazy to ship to the US, I'm just interested in the Systems themselves. And of course the UK ceramic artists, please share your thoughts on it....compared to other systems you've used. It would be greatly appreciated 😊.
