Second last class of the spring session

The spring studio session is once again coming to the end. I just came back from the second last class. I didn't make too many pots, just 3 bowls. I also trimmed the 3 pieces I've made 3 weeks ago and they were surprisingly nice to trim. I guess things have been drying very slowly at the studio.

Since, I didn't go to the studio last week (due to the company's boat cruise), I went to the studio last Saturday to pick up all my mugs. They turned out quite nice. This time around, I made some square mugs. Those were my first and I am sure I will make some more in the future. I brought a few mugs into work the past week and got very good comments from my co-workers. I sold a few as well. Thanks Julie and Sara!

These mugs were glazed in different glazes. Two of them are butter and dark clear green. The other one is butter and slate blue.
These two are with Julie's favourite colours (kermit green and mysterious blue) and hence they are now Julie's.
These 3 are in a new combination, butter and black.
Another one of the plate with Richard's artwork. Unfortunately, I left it in the glaze bucket for too long....hence some of the details are missing.
Plate with denim blue and randy's red, didn't turn out as well as the one I did last year.

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 ...
