The Kiln is Firing!!

The kiln was started this morning and I have been in my studio all day watching over the firing. 

Here is a sneak peek of what is being fired!  

We hope to see you next weekend at the show,

Saturday and Sunday - May 1 & 2 from 10 am until 5 pm.

One Week until Show Time!

Gina has been working on the gallery for me.  She has painted all the cubes and is starting to clean and set-up the show.  This is a huge job and Gina makes it look easy. 

The piece in this picture above is a tray with leaves pressed into it.  The sun is hitting the cube and tray nicely.

Gina has the right wall completed and looking nice.  She has mostly chattered pieces with different glazes on them with my blue glazed pots.  This will all change throughout the prep work for the show and during the show, too.  Actually, Gina will move the pieces around prior to the show and agin between Saturday and Sunday of the show.

In this photo, she has the stoney creek granite glaze on the bottom cube.  She has a lamp and mostly the yellow glaze and some wood ash glaze on the upper cube.

Gina will be leaving later today to participate in Relay for Life at Quinnipiac University with her graduate team of students.  There will be approximately 1,000 plus students in the Recreation Center tonight to raise money for cancer research.  Go Grads!  Go Gina!!

I'm downstairs glazing away for the last kiln. It is my hope to have everything glazed by Saturday and loaded into the gas kiln by Sunday evening.  Then, on Monday, I will fire the kiln all day long to have 100 plus new pieces for the show next weekend.

We both look forward to seeing you on May 1st and May 2nd!

Friday Night Fun! Fundraiser....Throwing Cups at Guilford Art Center

Last night, I and several others threw over 200 cups at Guilford Art Center for an upcoming fundraiser. 

This picture you can see Bob Parrott and Anita Griffin working away.

I'm working away in the background with Bob's cups on

lower part of this picture.  Notice the balls of clay that will be made into cups.

The thrown cups on the glazing table!  We did it!!!  It was fun and the food was wonderful.

I hope all is well with you!  David

Happy Customer - Fran's Lamp

Hi David--

The lamp is perfectly beautiful, and works perfectly in its surroundings. Thought you'd like to see some pictures of it in situ. The nice saleslady at Connecticut Lighting called the lampshade a "pregnant square." :-) A very pleasing shape, I thought. Thank you SO much. I love it!

See you tomorrow--

Sink

This sink has been ordered by a customer for their new home.  The glaze on this sink is shino with ash and has a fish overflow.

I sent out the postcard today for the upcoming show!  I look forward to seeing you on Saturday and Sunday, May 1st and 2nd from 10 am until 5 pm.  Come and enjoy a fresh baked cookie!

Happy Spring!

David
