I am not sure where else to post this. :runaway:
I am a master at ceramics but... :frown: ...
I just started learning how to play acoustic guitar. I am wondering if there are any others who also play instruments that affect sensation (calluses). I have noticed that the change in sensation in my finger tips. Light/delicate work is what is changing, throwing rims/lids and sculpting facial features.
Any suggestions on how to do both without negatively impacting my pottery/sculpting?
(Crossing fingers that someone is out there) :crossfingers:
Thanks! :Purple Koolaid:

imagine how much a Winters made ceramic mug would fetch at fattyfest

I have a hollow body guitar you can borrow long term that would solve this problem winters.

Dip your fingers in melted butter before a jam session. This worked for me when I had a similar problem with my wood carving

You can try playing on lighter strings. If you are playing acoustic you might be boned unless you buy a classical guitar that is made for nylon strings or just go electric.
Interesting

I don't know anything about sculpting or guitar playing but apparently they make these finger condoms for just this reason.

SdK just mentioned to me last weekend that he was struggling with the guitar strings hurting his fingertips as well. I hope you find a good solution. I wish I could play guitar. I just do piano instead.

Trade out the guitar for a trumpet/flute/saxophone/oboe.

Just power through it. It'll take months but the callus will build up and soon you won't even notice the discomfort any more. But you have to practice regularly. Light gauge strings is a good suggestion. Also try coated strings (like Elixr).

I'm already an excellent trumpet player :zzz:

Piano. You should play piano. Girls will put up with anything for a guy who plays piano. (See Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.)

I'm not going to watch those movies but canco chicks dig piano. Guitar is still cooler though and you can't just lug a piano around easily.

surely this is a cut and paste

How about a combo winters mug and personal jam sesh? would set an all time high at FF

Even as an old guy, I would consider attending FF to witness Winters showcasing his artistic talents.
