February Post






Right now, I am working on the candle holder project. I just started last class, so all I have is one slab ready. Right now the biggest problem I'm having is based on design, but that's nothing new. I'll have to make a decision as to how I want the final product to look, but that's an internal struggle. There are so many choices! I am glad the slab machine is easy to use, and I've had no problems with it. 


My cups came out of the fire this week! The yellow one used the same glaze twice, the Goldenrod Shino, and held about 10 ounces. The brownish reddish cup used Chun Plum and Turkish Amber. It held 12 ounces of water. The dark blue cup was glazed with Dark Blue and True Celadon and held 11 ounces. Lastly, the green cup was glazed with True Celadon and Metallic Green, and it held 9 ounces.
I made a couple of extra cups, but only put handles on the ones above. I also finished up glazing my coil pot (finally) using Seaspray and True Celadon, and it is watertight.
