I made several vases on the wheel today. My back is killing me, but mentally I feel great.
-
make sure you are sitting in the best position ergonomically.

I am trying to keep a strait line from my neck to my back. But I have to lean forward with it too.. it's difficult. I think If I wore a back brace maybe it would keep my posture more aligned when throwing.
-
Couldn't you just elevate the wheel a bit? Not fun having back ache!! Please take care.

I did my first "pottery sale" at a spirit fair. I normally do numerology readings but this time I took some mugs with me. Feeling pretty good about my sales!

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

Maybe that is when we will know we really are potters....when the entire kiln load turns out great!!! I'm not there yet!
-
I find it is like making little people. All of them with diverse personalities. I grow to love the ugly ones.

Congratulations! Now on to the 2nd kiln load...

Bisque Firing in the new (used) kiln FINALLY!!! /emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" data-emoticon="" srcset="

Hopefully you were pleasantly surprised

I was very happy- everything seemed to bisque fine. I had 2 cracked rims of bowls but i think they occurred in the trimming process and just showed up in the bisque. I put some cones in the kiln to check for accuracy and they did nothing.. so I wonder what is going on. The wares seem fine though.
-
What cones did you put in ? Just be careful glazing if hte cone you wanted to fire to did nothing as this would suggest the kiln didn't get to temp/cone you wanted to and this would mean that your ware is more porous than you expect so the glaze will go on the pot thicker, if you get what I'm sayning.
Exciting firing!

I realized today that it is much easier to make large forms out of porcelain than it is with stoneware.
-
YAAAY!! The big kiln is finally installed!
-
I unloaded a batch of mugs yesterday - Some of the colors excite me! I have been making "pink shino" using coyote shino and rhubarb.

haha!!

Wouldn't it be justice if that load fired fantastically and you could never reproduce it?
-
Haha.. that would be my luck!

Frustrated! Everything is preventing me from getting into my studio! And I need a new panel upgrade in order to hook up my new (used) kiln!
