First bisque load of 2012

It's January 29, 2012 and my first bisque load is out.  That's not a bad start for 2012.  There are a total of 16 pieces and yes some stacking was done.  It's good that everything survived.  The smaller bowls were made for the Great Bowls of Fire 2012.  So, I am half way done the pieces for Great Bowls.... :)  I am trying to make a new glaze for them.  Wish me luck!

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!

Last firing before the show

One last firing before the show, and I’m happy to say that every piece turned out beautifully.
