Brutal 2nd Day of Glazing

Today was a difficult day.

Glazing is the most tedious and unwelcomed part of pottery making for me. I like the results, but I would much prefer to make the pieces all day and let someone else do the rest. But I have two kilns almost cooled and one more to load and I'll be done with all of this series. Then the throwing starts again. I have quite a list of pieces to do this week. Right now I have almost no mugs for the home studio sale. I want to have about 75-100 mugs ready. I also have to do more pie plates, butter keepers, apple bakers and goblets as well as a couple teapots. This is the weekend from hell for sure!

Here are the pictures from today :)

The New Shed

Step one is complete. Brian finished the shed today. Tomorrow we'll start to carefully organize the space and fill it up Things will look so much better around here!

Friday Happenings

Not Much..at least for me.Rowan was the one out in the world doing stuff. She worked at the Oasis preparing for tonight's Tea Leaf reading class, then took a break to present her daughter to the crowd for Senior Night at the football game. She then returned for the class. Got all dressed up, created a fantastic mood and most unfortunately, NO ONE SHOWED UP. She was sad.

I was at home pulling handles all day. And what a lot of handles there were. I am pleased to report ALL the Webster's mugs are now made. We'll be loading the bisc kiln in the AM. I also got a good start on soup mugs. The next week will be all about finishing a few more special orders and prepping for our home studio sale. I have a lot on my list to do. Pie Plates, more Oak Leaf Platters, Pitchers, Creamers, Butter Keepers, Apple Bakers, Goblets, Tankards, Round Mugs, Small Bowls, wee bowls and Teapots. Maybe a few larger covered jars, we'll see. OH and a few vases for the Raku firing. *sigh* sounds like a lot.
