    Hermoso trabajo. Me encantaron sus piezas. Soy de Puerto Rico, trabaje 36 años , el barro ha sido lo mejor que me ha pasado en mi retiro. Larga vida, buenas vibras y muchas bendiciones para usted. Gracias por compartir su trabajo y experiencias.

    Beautiful and fascinating. It’s great to hear David’s underpinning philosophy and see the process.

    Excellent work. I didn’t know we could mix stoneware and porcelain. I will have to try this. Thanks for the ideas, demonstration and inspiration.

    1. just make sure to wedge it a ton, since clay sold as ‘stoneware’ and ‘porcelain’ can have quite different shrinkages, porosity and obviously color
