Thanks for stopping you all! That really was a fun weekend. These OC folk really know how to kick in a Clay Jam!

Henrik - Really happy your back! I've been missing my VanTiki fix. We can't let that darn Pacific Ocean keep us from hooking up at some point. If you don't make it over to Cali, I'll make it over to play in your studio. I want to go over and visit Gecko too, that cat is pumping out some amazing stuff lately. Those bowls of his that he brought to Oasis (only got to see pictures) were just too much! Amy and I have enough miles saved up on Hawaiian Airlines for one free ticket...and yeah, no pressure on this firing huh :)

Hodaddy - Of course you cats can come over and play...let's work out a good time.

Grog - That was really cool watching Bai and Squid working together...it's like they are an extension of one another. Bai starts this massive project, and towards the end of the evening Squid just kind of jumps in and helps her to texture the piece...no words between them, just harmony...Much better tag team than John and Yoko ever were that's for sure. I would still have to call this one a Bai / Squid work, not a Squid / Bai work.

Sorry folks, neither Squid nor I did got's a whole lot of work done on Sunday, but we sure had a "ton" of fun shooting the bull, yaking about old travel trailers, vintage cars, art, clay, etc...I did send him home with a bunch of clay, so I would imagine that you peoples are going to see some amazing "one off" magic coming out of that guy...he's just sooo talented! The rest of you OC crew, call Squid, grab a little hunk of that clay from him, and get in on the action!

This is going to be the best kiln load I've ever fired.
