#253 - Becca's next challenge
Ryan & Becca are back to chat about Becca's next challenge as she's made her way back east for the summer. She's planning ahead for diving head first into online teaching in clay. It's not something too foreign for her, but she's been planning for months (maybe even years) to get to this point. There's a lot of unknowns still, but the plan is set in motion. Ryan also shares a bit about a new throwing challenge he's started the past few weeks.
Listener Questions
On this episode:
- Hi Ryan and Becca! I have tried to get an answer to this question and apparently am struggling. I want to make some olla pots (bury them in the garden, fill them with water that slowly leaks through to water plants) but no clay store near me sells terracotta. I have found a clay with an absorption of 22% at cone 2 though. My question is: does absorption equal porosity if I don't glaze it? THANK YOU!!!! @mspiveyceramics
