Pots from the summer session

The summer pottery session went by so fast. There weren't too many pieces from the session. One thing I had tried this session was making bigger pots, many thanx to Julie for her encouragement. Julie had asked me to make her a big bowl for fruits, well, I hadn't really make any big bowl until then. So, here it is, Julie's fruit bowl.

Used about 5 pounds of clay, probably trimmed down to 2.5 - 3 pounds and glazed with Kermit Green and Mysterious Blue.


Other than the fruit bowl, I'd also made some small bowls. Here is one of them (Kermit Green and Dark Clear Green):


Besides pots that were thrown off the wheel, I also made a couple of hand-built plates. Of course Richard did the craving. The bamboos look very nice on these plates. One interesting thing about these plates are that they were glazed with the same glaze (Mysterious Blue) on the same night, but somehow one of them came out more green.

Studio doesn't start again until September 26, so until then....

Garlic keepers and soup bowls And my TODO list is getting slightly longer.  My mom asked me to make a few mugs for her friends in Hong Kong.  My parents have been great supporters of my work and this is just to show that they think that their friends might like them as well. Still need to make more to fill the kiln, but I am happy with the accomplishment so far. Mugs to be
