Current Mood and Projects

  • Mood: Depressed
  • Listening to: the birds outside my window
Put some vases into the kiln as of late.
A lot of personal emotional stuff going on and frankly I'm depressed about all of it.
Right now my studio work is really the one thing that keeps me sane and grounded more than any other. Still it's something of a fight to get into the studio, to get up, to do anything at the moment.
Still I'm forcing myself to  make work, and I think that's okay for now.

Side note: I'm really depressed with some of the changes DA has made to the forums etc. I would love a forum to just talk to potters and other media related artists.

Also I hate being cramped in as artisan crafts when ceramics with earthenware or porcelain clay (NOT poly-clay) is clearly a traditional (and very ancient) art form.
Every time I submit a piece of work I'm stuck between calling it sculpture or some vague artisan craft category and it's just plain inconvenient and confusing.

Finally I'm considering the $200 lifetime premium membership, but I really want to know where DA is going in the future. $200 is something I will have to save up for for a few months but still isn't really much of an option at the moment.
