A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play |
Right on schedule… out of the bisque, still black & white… but then glazed and right back into another kiln. When they come back out they will be assorted shades of greens, blues and browns!!! Still on track to have them all ready for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!
Two views of each of the final sgraffito porcelain platters for the day. I told myself that whatever I could finish “today” could still get through the process and make it to my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW next weekend. They may still be warm, but… and now I’m done! For now.
Number One
Number Two
Number Three
Number Four
Carving up a few more porcelain sgraffito platters with my DiamondCore Tools! Clean lines, crisp edges and comfortable finger grips… which you may not think is important until you spend a full day carving platters!!!
More carving. More sgraffito.
Another porcelain platter “racing†its way towards next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!
Another sgraffito platter carved while firing the kiln today!
It was a very productive day today while firing…
cleaning, glazing, carving with my DiamondCore Tools… oh yeah, and firing too!!!
While I’m “trapped” at the studio firing all day, I figure it’s a great chance to start some carving… with my favorite DiamondCore Tools!!! Making a last-minute batch of carved porcelain sgraffito bowls & platters. If my calendar is correct… they will make it out of the glaze kiln just in time for next week’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!!
One last batch… hoping to hurry them through so they’re carved & glazed
by next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW!!! Work in progress…
