He's my muse! I listen to him all the time. I was fortunate enough to go see him a couple of years ago. He's amazing. I hope I'm able to still create at that level when I'm his age.

What I use is not a traditional damp box (I'm a little scared of mixing plaster). My box has some contractor's insulation board with holes drilled in it and a damp sham-wow towel (I saw another potter using one, and asked). It doesn't keep the clay damp as long as a traditional box, but it works for my purposes. I can usually keep a piece workable inside it for two weeks.

@@bynonstudiosartokay I will give this version of a damp box a try. Thank you.

It's also much lighter.
