Got a crap-ton of things to do this weekend

[morgaina]

So here I sit in front of the computer.

I should be thinking mostly about the Praxis test I have to take tomorrow, it's a content knowledge test, it should be over material I know, but I as an Ox and prefer being over-prepared.

However, I am primarily concerned with the Palouse Studio Potters Guild Show at Cowgirl Chocolates with the reception tomorrow. We can't bring many items, so I am arguing with myself over what I want to bring. I always want to bring the most recent things that came out of the kiln, although older work might be better sellers....I don't know, if I did know I would be a much wealthier person.

Finally got to unload the kiln today. Some worked out well, others not so much. The glaze experiments didn't go as nicely as I had hoped they would, the kiln fired at least a cone hotter, possibly more, because I programed a very slow cool-down, the temperature rise is counter-intuitive, but there you go.




These pitchers are inspired by Medieval balluster shapes, but the glazes and surface decoration are distinctly contemporary. I heart the balluster shape.




This bowl holds about 2 qts.



The hot spots are my photography, but then I don't pay myself well ;-)
I am pleased with this platter and plan to do more in this style.

Those are beautiful! I love the colors of that glaze.

Are we still on for the amphorea?

Another floppy eared icon, what a sweetie.

Thanks, the purples are amazing. I'm changing the name of one of them to 'huckleberry' because it's the color of the local huckleberries.

If I didn't write you back about the amphorea, I apologize!!! I thought I did. Yes! I am looking forward to doing them.
