new slabroller extension and cleaning up the excess that had collected on the back table makes studio neater and easier to use. additional drywall sheets added on new tabletop storage rack adds 1/3 more space for finished work waiting for firing. there are 4 of the closet organizers, each with ten shelves of drywall. only 2 drawers with supplies, all the rest are drywall approx 18x24 inches.  except for lizard poop,  studio stays surprisingly clean.

Stoneware cone 6

An nod and a Thank You to Mark C.

I love how hands on Raku and horsehair is. Not only do I connect with my ancestral potters, my inner pyro is quite satisfied.

awkward area between sections but it still holds a lot of pots in racks. the hanging pocket is for dried flowers only, it will not hold water and is labelled as such.

the new green glaze has depth, i love it.

White earthenware bowl. Carved when leather hard. Grey underglaze painted into lines and scraped back to neaten. Transparent glaze.

Semi porcelain bowl altered edge. Carved when leather hard, airbrush-sprayed with dilute wash of copper and cobalt oxides before bisque.btransoarent glaze over.

Inspired by visit to Jen McCurdy's studio 3 years ago. Very modest attempts at modifying a bowl in her style! Lots of time and effort into these 5" bowls.

group of bowls of different sizes. have not sold bowls at the holiday sale for years, lots of other potters make bowls. and beautiful mugs so i do not do them either. i think i have a niche but i noticed that this year there are other folks doing similar sized flats.

from the last firing in my top hat

My last firing included large slabs and a load of loaded tile racks. Now I have to disassemble and move.

Bowl for my throwing water, complete with grooved flat area for holding tools and sharp rim for wiping slip off hands.
Wood-fired Cone10 Reduction, Tenmoku glaze.

Wood-fired Cone10 Reduction. Rice ash glaze layered over Tenmoku.

Single fired stoneware, cone 9.

I made a stamp of some trees, mixed it with a purchased tree stamp and poked a lot of holes in the porcelain. Wasn't sure how to spell the word Picotee- doesn't it need an accent over one of the e's? This one is my ode to xc skiing, when its snowing but very quiet- i.e. all you can hear are your skis in the snow.

this is the 5% copper carb in my new glaze. i re-sprayed it heavily and then added more. i think i have 4 of these now. big show this weekend, hope they sell.

this shape, square, plate is a fast seller at $16, the circular things go into a basket labeled "little treasures" and generates a lot of interest and many sales.

ginko leaf tray done in Oribe green. recipe is not stable. proved with the vinegar test. tray sold to same person who bought the tree of life rectangular tray. new glaze on bottom tray. different recipe done with the new copper carbonate that is not like the old stuff. much weaker color. lots of re-fires with this glaze. have to get used to pouring it on thickly with my sprayer. have increased amount of copper to 5% since this piece.

Waterfall Brown glaze. Dipped 1-2 sec. Viscosity @ 11.58 on pie plate and mug.

What happened when I ended up with two different colors of gray epoxy paint for the floor..."graphic camouflage"
