morgainaSo 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.

Whatever happened with the lot you took back to that photographer?
This batch is purpleiscous!

Date: 2007-11-16 10:00 pm (UTC)I thought the photographers didn't contact me back after I wrote them a complaint and I was pretty angry. But my message machine since then indicated somehow their reply got lost in the ether. I've been so busy I haven't gotten back to them *yet again* because I can't do personal business during work hours and they are only open during my work hours. So I haven't taken the next step.
I will try to get stuff to you soon. Daughter said she would take some photos of me, she is a brave person ;-) because she knows how self-conscious I am about such things ;-)
