Pictures from Spring 2009 session

Almost half way through the Spring 2009 session, it's definitely time to update my blog with some pictures. There were also some interesting moments I would like to share. The first interesting moment was me having trouble trimming a pot.... no matter how I trimmed it, the foot was still not level (according to my leveler). It turned out that the table was not level. I would have never thought of it if I didn't have my leveler. The second interesting moment was that I managed to spend over 2-3 classes (I lost count already) and still weren't able to finish my 9 mugs. I guess attaching handles just take a long time... I still have 3 mugs to finish off for next week. Guess I won't be making mugs for a while, at least not for this session.

Here are some pictures of my new pots:


Black and Mysterious Blue have to be my all my favorite combination.
Randy's Red mug


These lovely plates were craved by Richard and glazed with Mysterious Blue. He is quite an artist!

Pottery girl has been quite productive

Like I mentioned last time, since I didn’t have a show in December and didn’t spend much time outside this winter, I was able to spend more time in the studio. As a result, I actually have some finished pieces ready! I opened the kiln earlier this afternoon for my second glaze firing of the year (can you believe my 2nd glaze firing in April, this has never happened before)—here they are (sorry about the lighting…). The bottom shelf, the initial picture didn't work out and I had to take another one 2nd shelf with pieces that I did slip trail.  This is my first time doing this and I quite like the result. 3rd shelf  Top shelf  I’ve also been trying out a new look for my mug handles, but they didn’t make it into this firing. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next update!

2019 wasn't a good pottery year

Welcome to the first day of 2020!  Can't believe that this is my first post since last January?!  What'd happened to 2019? Yes, just like the title says, 2019 really wasn't a good pottery year.  It started out strong in January and then it'd gone downhill.  :( Last January, I kept in touch with the lady who interested in some plates and bowls.  I started making those plates back then, however, she'd written back to have those on hold.  It was perfectly fine for me as I was only seeking for new ideas.  I managed to make 7 plates and was quite pleased with them. Unfortunately work got really busy in the first half of the year.  I did a lot of overtime and really didn't have time to make any new pieces. Then the Summer came, many weekends were spent on the golf courses.  Again pottery didn't make it to the priority list. So, did I make anything else?  Yes I did.  The motivation came from signing up for my annual ...
