Alumina hydrate in wax resist with a suspender if anyone is interested.

In other news, I feel a little awkward about giving this information because of last years mighty belly flop....but my local potter's guild is planning on holding our EMPTY BOWLS event April 19th. http://www.emptybowls.net/ We have different people organizing it this year, so we have a better chance of success. My job description is to solicit bowls. (I still have [livejournal.com profile] gwen_the_potter"s generous donation in a safe place from last year).

We discussed this a bit on LJ last year, so now I kind of have a plan. My Spring Break is the first week of April, I am coming over to visit and if someone would like to host a workshop for working on these donations, whoever is interested could paint bowls, maiolica style. I started throwing a buncha bowls today and am making the interior slope gradual so they will be fun to paint upon. I think I have a cunning scheme to keep the glazes from smearing, then I'll take them back and fire them. I'll take photos & post too. In terms of messyness it would be fairly equivalent to scribal arts.

Since I have children in both Seattle and Portland, if there is interest we could do one in both places....or we could all decend upon [livejournal.com profile] daedin who resides in the middle heh, and not tell her.

The Food Co-op is donating the soup and bread, so after we cover building rental, which is about $70., ALL the proceeds will go to hunger organizations. The Guild decided 1/2 would go to Oxfam & the other 1/2 to a few food banks in little towns around here, which we hear, are really hurting.

I am excited about this. I love working on this project.
