So I finally got back to glazing some of my class demo bowls.
The stack has been on my Teacher Shelf for weeks. At least they were all waxed from the last time I “tried” to glaze them, but gave up too soon. Tonight I was determined.

Some just got dunked in a glaze bucket.
While others had some accent glazes inlaid into the stamp impressions and wiped off. In this case, it was temoku glaze inlaid, and then the bowl was dipped into green celadon glaze.

Determined to get some stuff finally glazed and off my Teacher Shelf.
Determined to make some room for new work when my new session of wheelthrowing classes starts next Tuesday!!!

One of my studio neighbors said she had an empty layer in her bisque kiln.
She asked if it would be okay if she loaded some of my greenware in her kiln.
Of course I said yes.

But when I got to the studio an hour or so later, I did a quick check on the kiln.
And since it hadn’t started firing yet, I decided I could add some more work. And I about DOUBLED the amount of work on that layer. Sure, it’s not my cleanest & best packed kiln layer. Some things are stacked. Some are leaning. Some are precariously perched. But I feel a lot better getting more work in.

And when the sun finally revealed itself on the horizon, nothing but clear skies.
No major clouds. Just a simple clarity… and simple beauty!!!

One of my favorite days of the year.
Share your best April Fool’s prank ever… whether prankER or prankEE?!!!
