I just sign up for Julia Galloway's workshop in May,

She is defiantly one of my favorite potter

And I am so looking forward to this workshop.

New Toy!

Right before I go back to Taiwan, I bought a used slab roller for myself.

I always wanted a slab roller. And now...I got one!!

It have been sitting in my studio waiting for me to get back from Taiwan.

Since I got back I have not been working, because of the jet-lag, classes and other excuses. 

But this whole week I told my self it's time to get back to work, 

so I try to figure out the best way I can fit the slab roller and other equipment.

Today...I finally use it for the first time in my studio:-)

I have to say, I kind of miss using my good old rolling pin.

But I think I will get use to this awesome addition to my equipment list very soon.

And beside the slab roller I also got something from Jason... I will post later on.

My studio now is getting better and better, yay!!! 

Vacation time in Taiwan.

I know I have been slacking updating my blog,

recently I took a trip back to Taiwan to see my family, I haven't been back to taiwan for a year,

so it was really nice back to home and just do NOTHING!

This is my niece she is two now, I spent most of time play with her during my trip.

beside doing nothing and playing with my niece I also eats really well every meal.

anyway, I am back to oakland now and I am all charge it ready to work!!
