Vivor wheel splash pan
Since I know many potters have tested this wheel... The last time I used it the splash pan seems to leak and rub against the wheel head. Am I putting it on wrong ? Do others have this issue or a solution? Maybe I should just dress all students in garbage bags, then let the clay fly. 😂

I have one that I use all the time. I don’t have a problem with the splash pan. I know it is not water proof, and there is only one way it will go on because of a groove in the base of the pan. I do not have trouble with rubbing unless there is too much clay in the pan.
Oregon potters association show
Every year the OPA has a big show at the Convention Center in Portland. I went yesterday and met Louise and John Buckles and had such a good time. The variety of the work was astounding! I asked the people whose work is pictured for permission to post them and everyone said yes. I realize the link looks long but I don’t know how to shorten it. And I didn’t want to post individual photos here. I’ve never used Dropbox before so fingers crossed it works! PS - when I clicked the link it took me to a line of pictures that I had to scroll down. If anyone has a different photo sharing site they like, feel free to let me know. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ry10wj7w26ycgnz9trk76/Photo-Apr-24-2026-10-25-48-AM.jpg?rlkey=i5oo3oljgw4r0m170vuo708m4&st=qy2bqjxi&dl=0

It was great to meet up with Mary. I was hoping to meet up with Amanda too, but that didn’t work. This is a mug I purchased, and another piece I love. I bought the blue mug.

How would you dry this idea?
This is a platter I made a month ago and it sold..But I have a request to create an octopus holding up a bowl over his head. This one I dried flat then I glaze glued it to the platter. These are difficult to sculpt as is because I keep breaking the arms off. Any ideas on how to get it lift the arms to dry so I can attach a bowl after bisque. Sponges and lots of them , or hang it upside down and try to slip and score his arms in a bowl shape? Any other ideas to hold up the bowl?

You could make the bowl and attach the octopus to the bowl. This would make it dry in the shape you need and less chance of breaking the tentacles
