Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Pottery sport: It’s when your throw goes wrong (say wall collapse) and despite the clay being waterlogged and annoying at that point, you pack it down and quickly re-centre and very carefully (slow wheel speed!) make something with what you’ve got. Here’s a pheonix from yesterday: an egg cup. 110

Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The train platform signage at Lancaster is appalling (not existent). Platform 1 basically hidden and not sign posted from anywhere I can see. Almost missed my connection. 010
Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Curious qualification. What is the relevance, or even meaning here, of “in space of a millisecond”? That's how computers work. Fast. And…? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 110
Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Clay not only wants to be a bowl, it wants to be a weird bowl. Actually this wanted to be plate at first and I somewhat rescued it into a bowl, surprising myself in the process. Super White stoneware, ungrogged (has a little molochite in it). #clay #pottery #stoneware 150

Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 17/09/2026In other clay news: I tried Super White stoneware last night (ungrogged). So smooooth. Like malleable plastic on the wheel. More collapsible though! 100
Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Added a handle to this cup after re-hydrating it somewhat. Firing next. (The handle may be a bit weeny after the 12% firing shrinkage of the B17CG clay) #clay #throwing #pottery 010

Alex Hunsley 2M0LBH @quaplek.bsky.social · 11/09/202624 years and about 363 days ago I got a delayed voicemail on my mobile. It was a message from someone unknown saying they’d were ok, they’d made it out the tower. I rarely ever think about that wrong number message now; I wish I’d kept a recording of it. A tiny piece of positivity in the horror. 030
