Six Reasons why Ceramics is Dirty

Sick, Twisted view from a mudd slinger.

Being in Ceramics we have inside jokes in the end that are taken into literal terms. One evening at our annual Wood-Kiln firing, us bored Mudd-Slingers came up with various reasons why the art of Ceramics could be considered "Dirty".

no particular order:

1) Red hot in the box
2) We all start out w/ 2 lbs. balls
3) A little ash makes me wanna flux
4) She slips, she scores
5) Put wood in the box at red heat
6) The wetter the harder to pull
7) Throwing off the hump
8) Liquid Latex
... Of course there is more but these are the best ones...
Stay tuned for reasons Glass Blowing is dirty.

I have taken corses in glassblowing, and have several friends who are into the art. It is a fun and unforgiving medium to work in but quite rewarding. I personally enjoy casting glass, and making blow-molds.
