    Rain once more here, pots are taking a long time to dry, but makes it easier to assemble after throwing lots of pieces.

      Rain...? What's that? We haven't seen rain here in the Sacramento, CA area since early May and probably won't be seeing it for another 2 months. Something to look forward to along with the shorter days...more time to spend in the studio when the sun goes down :)

    87F. Yesterday.. .  . weather is nice, and presently I do not need it! Next week when I get back from GA I have more chalices and patens to do, and some funerary urns to do. Working on cleanup and try working with the white clay.

      I heard your area was having some high heat,  we have had stormy weather for several days.  It is moving out and it is going to get hot.  What white clay are you working with?  I am always looking for a clay that fires white at C6, strong but doesn't feel like cream cheese like B-mix.    Denice

    Glaze load last night with the long wait to open ahead. Both pickling crocks in the kiln, and several apple bakers and mugs. could not get chalices in this load.

      Can't wait to see apple bakers.

    Bisquefired two large pickling crocks last night.  Largest was 25#, thicker walls than usual, but wanted it to hold up to abuse, and the rim is a water catch to cut the oxygen contamination to the interior. Glazing later in the week as Med emergency with wife(broken shoulder).

    Posted answers to Potters Quiz of the week 3, Sorry I was late, but yesterday was tiring with lots of driving and a 3am turn off of the glaze firing. At least it got me out of the house until today-no peeking.

  19. Pres

    New pig tail in, jumper, and holders replaced. Elements were within specs for firing. One set of fuses replaced, and everything put away. Now firing in 99F. heat.

  20. Pres

    Waxed bottoms of all pieces, start glazing tomorrow, and fire hopefully on Wed night
