Introducing The Newest Covert Potters

T Roberts

T Robert and Jon Pacini are new members of the Covert Potters Association. I met them the first time I went to Fred's to fire one of his kilns.  Ok, Fred is everything a curmudgeony old man should be. And at the time of him telling me that he had room in his kiln for me, I had not met him either. I made it to Fred's and was offered food. Fred and his wife had gone to LA for a birthday party and told no one I was coming. These lovely strangers invited me in, gave me food and made me feel welcomed.

T and Jon could not be more different as potters. T is very sculptural, hand-built and she loves to alter her thrown pieces. Her joy is to wood fire. Jon spends more time on the wheel with beautiful forms. He has spent much time in the past with crystalline glazes and is now doing wood firing.

I hope you will come to a Covert Potters Event and meet these two.

And Now Another Installment of... Ask a Potter!

What?!?! I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the noise... hehehe. Or maybe I’m just not listening to you... No, just kidding. I often wonder: What do you listen to while you pot?
Chris:
I usually like to listen to more ambient sounds with deep rhytyms like Shpongle, can never go wrong with David Bowie, the Yoshida Bros, Zero Seven
Evan:
Rock and Roll, Jazz, Blues, all at the same time
Celeste:
I listen to the radio. I prefer jazz and oldies
Sally Anne:
If I'm at home: NPR. Love the weekend programming. Or music - Angry chick music mostly. I pot outside so I don't sing along… want to keep the neighbors friendly. At the studio: other people. It's a community place and It's nice to connect.

Do you listen to anything while you work? Do you prefer silence? Is there something you wish you could listen too?
