More than ten discs thrown before 10:00am!
Working towards another batch of ikebana vases for my upcoming art fairs!

My studio cart was filled with glazed & wadded pots… ready for a soda-firing!
We all made it safely downstairs in the rickety freight elevator.
Thanks to some masking tape “seat belts” to keep pots from bouncing off
the shelves during the journey downstairs!

Early morning bisque kiln unloaded… and now it looks like “someone” has a lot of glazing & wadding to do in the next couple days! My hope is to finish it all in time to load the soda kiln this Friday night! Fingers crossed…

Everything dried overnight as planned.
All of these pieces will need to be glazed & wadded later this week!

Also… kinda excited to get my “monster” from last session’s THROWDOWN class into the kiln. He’ll be a lot less fragile once he’s bisqued! And then I’ll just need to figure out how to add some color to him?!

Adding some color with flashing slips that will react in the soda kiln when these get fired next weekend! Wouldn’t know it now… but these “should” turn orange! Fingers crossed…

Handles on! We now have another batch of “hybrid mugs”… a combination of wheelthrown & handbuilding techniques. Next up… some flashing slips to add some color that will be enhanced during the soda-firing process next weekend.

Each one a different pattern… a different texture… a different hybrid mug in the making!
Thanks to a wide assortment of texture handrollers from MKM Pottery Tools!

Another 10×10 CHALLENGE… this time trying to crank out another batch of my hybrid mugs in the next couple days! My next soda kiln is just over a week away… and I hope to get them in. These are the bottom wheelthrown “bases”… more than ten before 10:00am!

With warrantied replacement parts & pieces… I’m back up & running with my favorite Giffin Grip! So much fun & so much quicker… especially when trimming these little cutie-patooties mini vases!!!

An early morning throwing more than ten pieces before 10:00am.
This time working on wall pocket vases… thrown upside-down!
