Ready for the road. Glazed, packed, and loaded in the car & an old pic of the kiln. Yee haw!! Workbench is now empty.

Thought it was a strawberry planter....or are you making a funny?
-
Moving along with glaze prep for wood fire. Need a smaller hand mixer though!

Reclycling/wedging from dried clay is awful for me. I am saving up for the smallest cheapest pug mill I can find and Advancers (can't lift shelves so good anymore). My favored equiptment is my tabletop Bailey slab roller, followed by the heavy Shimpo banding wheel. I gave myself the gift of fully outfitting my studio from the git-go, upon retiring from my "day job", so there is nothing I wish I'd done sooner. Having my kiln right here is beyond awesome--there is no public-access kiln anwhere close by, plus the over-time, ongoing, expense and restrictions of having to use their clay/glaze/firing programs etc. would not suit me long term. So, I guess it is my L& L Easy-Fire that is really the winner! -
Thank you, Pres. The temptation to comment (here) can be resisted, if one tries!!! Not necessairly so easy, but it can be done. I am laughing becasue I am involved in another group that has a terrible problem with getting members to post their comments where they are supposed to, and to stop responding in the wrong place as well.

What's on my workbench? Nothing...becasue it's all in the kiln!! (Finally). Yee Haw.
-
Is that a N.H. Yeehaw or a Texas Yeehaw? Trying to gauge your enthusiasm.

Pilfered from my sister. She says it all the time. We are fom New Jersey -both of us lived for years in NYC--both moved to Virginia at different times (survival-long story) and while she is still there, I am in NH. So, long story long, I have no clue where she got it from. If you catch me saying Howdy, I pilfered that one from my daughter. No connections to Texas. High enthusiam--breaking out of a bad spell...and...just cracked the lid and all is right with the world (tho it's mostly only a bisque).

Way to go, Lee! I could have said the same thing Monday, but I opened the kiln and now all 46 pots, bowls etc. are back on the workbench awaiting their destiny...

This side will have a dug-out channel going around the sun. The piece is a spinoff from my Excavation series, and incorporates a Hidden Dragonfly when placed sunny side up. I was at the potters' guild reception for the Once Upon the Earth show and it pained me to have to deal with the fact that nobody could touch and handle my pieces. I handle and touch my pieces from the beginning of the process as though I were blind. Their heft and texture is half the point, as with this one that is on the workbench. 3/11 added pics after some carving

A work in progress. Last piece for the anagam fire in April. Double sided whatchamacallit. It will get some carving & just a bit of weight reduction.

Man in checkered shirt looking at one of MY bowls (shelf right) at the reception for the NHPG Once Upon the Earth exhibit. The photo is manipulated for a retro look. I was glad I went-I usually don't...just not my thing, but it was fun to watch people cruising my stuff.

I put a bit of Bag Balm (kinda like Vaseline) on a cotton ball and lightly coated the metal press--which I think may be brass, not iron. I finally got a good impression today. Yes, I rub from the back! Not fooling with plaster, tho I know I "should". No picture of the best mother mold------I looked up and saw this---ran for the camera, which of course had the wrong lens on it...there were FOUR of 'em wandering through. I've lived here for 16 years and never seen this out my windows.
