    This week I upgraded the grips on my Giffen Grip. I never liked using this tool but after installing the new grips I can see myself using it much more. Especially now, because I am in major production mode for an upcoming sale. I have a booth all summer long in Laguna Beach selling pots, fountains, and sculpture.

    This got me thinking a little bit about the Claystation. I really have no resources on this site about clay related products other then in the Link Directory: Ceramic Supplies & Services. So I decided to add a forum called Clay Related Products. This forum is for questions, reviews, and discussion about products used during the process of working with clay.

    This also got me thinking about videos, so I created a category under TV called Videos: Clay Related Products. Turns out there's tons of videos out there demonstrating cool tools used for clay. I added a couple, so check them out.

    It would be really great to have some discussion about products in this forum this week, so if you would like some insight on a certain product go here to ask now.

    Zen Ceramics Inspired by Nature by ZenCeramics on Etsy

    Inspired by nature handcrafted ceramics of organic and earthy quality from sculptural forms to functional pottery. <br /> <br /> &quot;My strongest inspiration comes from Mother nature and its influences on the shape of plants and animals, trees and rocks, both on land and underwater. New techniques and forms continually stimulate my interest in clay. The process of integrating various media with clay, like metal wire, stones, sand and wood to create dynamics has a great appeal to me. My favorite firing method is raku but I also use high fire with reduction process and oxidation process.<br /> <br /> Each piece is hand-built or thrown on a wheel and finished with food safe glazes exept raku. Raku ceramics by their creative process and their very nature serve only for decorative purposes and are not intended to be used for food.<br /> <br /> I am a member of National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, Clay Artisits of San Diego, San Diego Art Institute, Association of Clay amd Glass Artists of California.&quot;

    Something had to change, is it a new batch of clay? Or is one of the raw materials used to make the glaze from a new bag in the studio.
