I continue making Time Vessels. Making components and assembling them feels like building an apparatus for time travel of some sorts. I take "now" from this end and it comes out as "before" on the other end of the tube. I have hard time waiting for the clay to firm up and just end up using still wet clay components to build. If it is too soft the form flops out of shape. I make lots of parts on a wheel until some parts get ready so I can add another piece to them, cut them, add more clay, turn it, put it on a wheel sideways, and build more forms on top of it with coils. Ceramics is a messy business. Clay dust is not good for our health. I want to spread out when I work. I should try to keep things clean as I work, want to be spontaneous, try to learn to wait for the clay to take its time to dry. Patience... patience....
