I've been throwing pots all day and it just doesn't seem like I got very far. 2 jars with cap lids, 1 bowl and 3 miniature bottles. The miniature bottles are new for me and takes me forever to get done. Just gives me a new perspective for the ones that I purchase at the sales, 6.00 - 10.00 a piece!

Hoping to get these pieces up to Funke's for bisque firing so that I'll get them back by June 13th when we load at Maple Creek. Looking forward to a good wood firing!!

Well, this has been an exciting day - I really had WAY TOO MUCH to do - but it all ended well. I went to Burlington Flea Market today and picked up this old thrown jug. Got it for next to nothing, but the spout is chipped.

After I left the Flea Mkt, I headed to Covington to a China sale where I purchased a large lidded jar and traded for a bowl. Both items had been wood fired.

About 1:00, Gary and I headed for Butler County OH for a Hot Rod show. That was so much fun. Lots and lots of old cars.

I picked up some of my pottery at Bakerhunt while I was in Covington and here are some of the pictures of the pieces I threw and glazed. Now you have to remember that I really do not like glazing, much prefer wood firing . . . . I really like this sake set. The jar below is the same glaze but it just did not do well at all. The sake set was in the larger kiln at school and the jar below was in the smaller kiln. They just don't fire the same.

I was trying to do wax resist to get the white lines to show up but the blue ran into the white and it makes it look real messy.

Below is a picture of another faceted pitcher which was glazed in Bronze Green, but the color is very light. I think this one was in the small kiln, too. I'm getting better at this technique - it's from a clip on YouTube from David Cusick.

Well, that's all for today - hope you had a wonderful weekend!
