Plans for 2014

Happy 2014!

 It's time to plan for the new year.  

 Top priority: make 25 soup bowls for this year's Great Bowls of Fire.  These bowls will have to be done by March 8.  I really need to get started on this.  At least I already have some ideas as to what to make.

 I really like the plan of making 6.3 pieces a month.  It seems to work out well last year.  I will just need to glaze them a little sooner.  Now, I have to see how many pieces I will have to make for the first 2 months of the year (with the 25 bowls and the 6.3 pieces per month).

 I still need to make a deeper casserole dish, a functional teapot.  I also plan to make some espresso and cappuccino cups to go with my Nespresso machine.  Guess that would be the new thing I want to make this year.  Last year, it was vases.

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 ...
