A few more bowls before the end of the winter session

Registration for the next sessions (Spring and Summer) started while I was on vacation. Luckily my brother was able to do the registration for me. However, he said that would be the only time he would register for me because it took too long and he was so tired. (Yes, registration starts at mid-night and usually requires a few tries before we get on the system). Anyway, he got me in the Spring, not the Summer. :( I will have to figure out what to do.

A few ladies at work would like to know if I will be in any of the upcoming shows, however I won't be in a show probably until November again this year. So, I have set up a show at my place this Thursday. I don't have that many pieces to show yet, just about 20 pieces, but I guess it's still kind of nice to have a show in April, just like the Guild sale (one in April and the other one in November).

I picked up a few more bowls on the last day of the winter session, they are the famous black and mysterious blue combination. I have already sold one of them to my one of my golf instructors.

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!

Toothbrush holder's new owner

We delivered the toothbrush holder to own friends, Matt and Kana to "match" up with the soap dispenser they bought from me from the show last November. They seems to like it. :)

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 ...
