So while the kiln was cooling… and the rainy weather cancelled the
“Spring Forward” 65-mile bike ride I was planning on doing today…
I spent the day in the studio making more work!
I knew that my new salt & pepper shakers were cooling in the kiln…
and I still needed to make the trays to go with them. I’ve decided to go with
terra cotta trays with even more textures & patterns. I’m looking forward
to the contrast of the soda-fired shakers with the more “antiqued” look
of the blackened terra cotta trays! So these trays will hopefully hold the
two shakers end-to-end… and then I still want to make a “square” version
of them so the shakers could also be placed side-to-side.
