marcus o mahony

today we got to meet a well known ceramicist marcus o mahony. the day wasn't too bad. it went relativly fast. for the morning he gave us a talk about himself and an introduction to his work:) after break we went down to the main studio and he gave us a demonstration on how he works, it was interesting, and gave me an insite into work myself, like the salt glazing technique he was talking about and also the whole set up of the woodfiring kiln..... now tomorrow its back into work. i've to set up clay recycling and start pugging it all out..FUN FUN!!!!!
