christmas sales already....

 

Of Kilns, Refires, and children...

so a lot has happened. Including my computer getting a virus.

Not pictured, my electric kiln (no name yet) that should be operational tomorrow.

I build some plates with feet (japanese style) and more noodle bowls.

I did a week of clay as a summer camp program for El Pueblo Museum.  We did pit firing and kiln building. Ages were 6 yo to 11yo.

Here are my pieces from the pit fire.

 

Here are some jars.  Upon suggestion I did not make knobs but put on rocks. I really like the outcome. Now this was fired in an electric kiln that is still giving me fits.  So the glaze did not crackle quite right. I will refire the bodies only. See if I can get more crackle.

And finally, I have made some masks.  Some with go here, some will go there.  ya, not sure I have much of a plan other than masks give me a chance to do random things.

and some things always make me happy.  I may not have a lot of happy in my life, I never have. but this is a constant source of a lot of things.  Happiness is one of them.

Wood Fire

So here are the pots I did from the wood fire. The clay was Soldate ^10. Fired in a wood kiln with a bit of Soda added in for effect.

The mugs here I made by throwing then and then paddling them prior to bisque

the plates are slab plates that I stacked on one another three high as a part of the firing.

These are lidded storage jars. I'm trying something different and there will be polished stones for the lids.



and then there is this...
