alex,
i 'm not sure there's much at amerifolk. sold a couple. i only had 3 pieces in the show. however, i'm firing the kiln tomorrow and will give them a few more later in the week. hopefully, the ones pictured here will be there. hope to meet you in person soon. oh and nice big pot on your blog. i need an extruder so i can make coils for big pots. is the one you use store bought or homemade?

Kyle, for the coils we just put a die(sp?) on the pug mill. Matt built an extruder that we use for handles and smaller diameter stuff but for the big pots we use the pug mill. I put up a more detailed post on the process of the big pots on my blog. It still leaves allot to be imagined. Its harder than I thought to explain a process like that over a computer! Look forward to meeting you too! Take care...
