The Mud Hut Nightshift

Last night found us in the studio as usual. Cynthia glazed a decorative vase with a dark brown covered by a white glaze and fired it to a cone 6 to produce a beautiful bespeckled appearance that you can see in the picture below. I trimmed the Christmas order bowls and we both worked on putting some handles on the mugs I threw the other night. Cynthia also worked on our folded bowl fashioned from the Raku clay. We continue to experiment with glazes, shapes, and designs. Each piece teaches us something new. We have several pieces in the drying stages waiting their turn for bisque firing. Ideally we would always have pieces in each of the various stages: throwing, waiting to be trimmed, trimmed and drying, bisque fired, and finally the glazing stage. Enjoy the pics and let us know what you think.
