Re-introducing myself (JD Slayton)
Hello all,
I have been away from the list for several months, and have just re-joined.
I am a geologist and sculptor living in northern Nevada. I recently quit my
job as an exploration geologist and have been sculpting full time. I am
working in a small but functional studio on my ranch here in the Nevada
desert.
I would appreciate any advice or comments from the list participants as I am
new to the sculpting profession. I have been building my working models from
clay and then firing them in an electric kiln (for posterity I suppose). I
have recently hooked up with some potters in the region and have wood fired
some pieces. This is an incredible process, involving a lot of hard work and
sleep deprivation. The last firing we did took 72 hours, but the results
were magnificent.
Well I suppose that's enough babble for now.
Regards, JD Slayton
