in the comfort of your own home....

I've moved the Skutt behemoth back into my apt., in the kitchen. Once again, it's the weather prompting change. I had moved it inside during the colder part of winter (yes, there's winter in northern Aridzona), because it was just too cold to throw. Then out it went as the weather warmed; now that summer is upon us, I had to wrestle the beast back inside. It's so hot out there (and rumored to get way hot soon) that the clay dries while it's turning on the wheel..... okay, that's partly because I'm so slow throwing!

It's very heavy-- maybe 80+ pounds-- and bulky enough to be a bitch to move. But inside I can generate a little more humidity (ah, the joys of a swamp cooler) and not have a meltdown. Just have to find a tall bucket (or bucket and some kind of stand) to meet the high drain slot on the side of the Skutt.
