few pit pieces from last firing in the gallery

Can you use rolled clay and press intno molds instead of slip? My molds are very heavy. Need help PLEASE!!!

Obvara firing tomorrow. No kiln but a hopefully hot enough pit. Keep your fingers crossed please.

Weather somewhat cooperated for firing....still some lessons take longer to sink in than others.

good results from this week's firings.

After 16 years with my bailey wheel, I replaced the potentiometer in the foot pedal. It is running and stopping just fine. The problem was that all of a sudden it would lurch when I turned on the motor. It is now fine.

Just found out I won third place in the Texas Clay Art Association's 2014 Six-pack show. It was a small foil sagger-fired pot.

First raku (western raku). Me likes. See gallery

I made several vases on the wheel today. My back is killing me, but mentally I feel great.

firing another foil saggar firing after the test results were so cool! Hope to bring a few to NCECA. Doing a last load of wash before packing.

Hope to get a test firing of foil saggar test tiles fired in preparation for a workshop.

Saw a great pottery show in New Orleans, "Women, Art and social Change, The Newcombe Enterprise"

posted more obvara from yesterday's firing

Second day in my now warm garage mixing colored clay for my workshops ... Yes, we potters do know how to have a good time.

Feels good to be back in the studio without the need for long underwear...yeah, I know, TMI

I opened my first glaze firing in the new kiln. Some exciting pieces, and a few ugly ones!

posted some new foil saggar pots in my gallery. Today is work on taxes.

Looks like an ice-pack-on-sore-back kind of day...no playing in the mud for me

Got Obvara firing done ..5 batches and some nice pieces. Lost a few due to dropping. Klutzy day.

That's quite a form you're throwin in your avatar. I like it lots!

Just brought the package with my vessel for the 2014 Juried Show to the airport.

preparing for firings today.

I've cast the flu out in disgrace...

YAAAY!! The big kiln is finally installed!
