I never expected Chow Sing Chi to gain Rajnikanth-level aura but that's what a good Tamil dub can do to you.

Every potter is a bit of a pyromaniac. As soon as the temperature drops below 60°F, it’s fire season. I have an entire body of work that I only make in the winter because I fire #pottery in my outdoor woodfire kiln. #permaculture geeks will love this: I built […]

One of my smoke fired pots collaged on top of a photo of a prescribed or controlled burn in Sarasota County. The pot is a gradient of tones from terracotta to grayish black. It has a wide mouth and narrow foot—a very deep bowl. The lip is curved and a series of ridges follows the curve of the rim all the way down to the foot. The background shows a brush fire with gray smoke filing the air above. A small black bowl sits above the furnace of the rocket kiln as a fire burns below. The bowl was smoke fired to blacken it. The furnace is square and formed with off-white fire brick. Scrap would is partially visible in the burning chamber. The bowl is simple but well formed and features two scalloped decorative ridges on the exterior surface.

#kualalumpur is a frustratingly annoying city from a #transit and #walkability perspective.

Perfectly nice, clean, on-schedule trains, lovely stations, surrounded by horrible connectivity and terrible pedestrian access. It's a system designed to fail, and there's no reason it should.

I wish the entire world could listen to me for a few minutes. I’d tell them about the fear we feel every night when we hear tanks nearby and planes flying above us.

I’d tell them how we spent days looking for a single loaf of bread and couldn’t find one.

I’d tell them how it feels to watch my […]
