Kiln Presents

     The other day I got some wonderful gifts from the glaze kiln!  I was using these bottles as tests for two glazes.  One is celadon and the other is an opal.

     I also finally glazed one of my boxes, and the lid didn't even stick!

     And then my first attempt at a goblet/chalice or whatever!  I just recently found this glaze combination and I quite enjoy it.

New Things

     The last two weeks have been quite interesting.  I set up a display of my pieces at Manassas Clay.  It is great to see my work out there!

   
    I chose to go with some variety, though not many large pieces.  Things seem to be going well.  I have stoneware and porcelain pieces here.   I need to find a way to spruce it up though (Manassas Clay is a shop front but also a working studio which you can see in the background).
     I have been working on some new slip trailed pieces.  It is difficult finding a direction I wish to move now that I do not have school assignments to fulfill.  For now I hope to create pieces which excite me and those who see them.

 These are quick pictures of two of the lidded vessels I have recently completed.  

     And yet another "unique" photo of a box I made.  It is difficult to define where the sliptrailing should end sometimes but these panels really helped in defining the edge.

     I guess that's all for now.  I hope to make this a more common thing!
