Trimming my Sake set today. Nervous about the result!

Trimming my Sake set today. Nervous about the result!

Loaded two glaze kilns and firing in am.The beat goes on.

Third good glaze firing this week! After three or four disastrous glaze loads I'm starting to gain my confidence back.

After a summer spent in a kind of funk, I'm back madly working. I find that if my mind is not clear, I cannot work. So frustrating! But it's clear now and I'm excited and happy to be in the studio again. I feel refreshed.

Firing a big kiln bisque today-show coming up

Lately, I have been at a loss to decorate, anything. I have no problem throwing, just what to do next. I just look a pots and wonder.

GLAZE ALL THE THINGS!

GLAZE ALL THE THINGS!

It's getting real, people. I just ordered the gravel base for my concrete kiln pad!

Video'd myself throwing off hump. Nothing like a video to remind yourself of all the mistakes and extra things you do to a pot.

Invited to do a pop-up show at 'last minute'...said, "OK" because it is less than a mile from home and will last only 3 hrs. I can do this

I spend my mornings drinking coffee and going through the gallery postings. I encourage all members to check out recent postings. The recent work posted by Pugaboo, Giselle, Joseph, 1515Art, and others is really impressive.

Back to my white clay this week, which means a switch to slip trailing instead of carving! Oh so many many dots ...

Trying to remember how my kiln program works. Ran a little test up to 150c and all seems to be working, just need something to put on my wooden floor now for a proper test.

This week it's all about ..... glazing. My favorite. -.-

Starting to miss my studio Been a few months since I have touched clay.

Three months' worth of work cooling in the bisque kiln right now. I've gotta fire more often and in smaller loads! !
