Gearing Up

Busy with making pottery for Christmas!
Items are selling well at Beaufort Art Association Christmas Market.  I will be selling at BAA and also at Fordham Market beginning in January.  Plan on staying busy between now and the first of the year!

Birdie atop sugar bowl.

Nice kiln surprise... worth the wait.

 Latest firing.  Liked some, not others.  These all came out okay. Used the red gold on Ellen's Buff clay.  I thought the red gold would not shiver off this clay like it does on Brownstone.  Some pieces were great... others, such as the kiln surprise mugs had some flaking on the handles.  Plan to refire to see if I can fix them.

The funny birdhouse is not my typical work but it was fun to make and paint.  Plan to hang it outside of my house and see if it attracts a wren.

Large bowl with nice runs.  Glad I dripped the black
on it by mistake!

Desert sage and shino mugs.

Funny birdhouse.

Large hand built vase.

Different clay than norm.  Like the
results with these runny glazes.

Yikes, now I have to fire and glaze. Amazing how a bad glaze can ruin a good pot. Will try hard not to do that!
