Most of my week was spent preparing and applying glazes to some of the bisque fired closed forms from last week. By Sunday evening, there was enough work ready to fill the kiln. The contents are cooling as I write […]
It was two days into the week by the time I finished cleaning the remaining greenware. From there I fired off both bisque kilns and let them cool. For the first time in months, I cleared the slab roller. With […]
Cleaning greenware. It has to be done. No way around it. Another day or two to go before I am done. Thinking about glazing some of the closed forms once they come out of the bisque firing. Untapped territory for […]
The moulds did their slow dance around the table as I cast the second copies in this cycle. Turns out that two casts of each is all the space can handle. In something akin to urban sprawl, modular forms have […]
I knew by the time I finished writing the modular story that I was not going to be throwing on the wheel any time soon. Writing things down set my priorities. I can only glaze-to-order if I have the stock. […]
This week I played graphic designer and story teller. I put together two illustrated pages telling the story of the modular set and another two showing the range of forms available with detailed price list. They printed up beautifully as […]

I ended the week with a firing. It’s still a little warm to unload but here’s a glimpse. Will look at the results more closely next week. In the mean time, here’s some of the process that got me there. […]
