The Heat is On!

The heat is on to finish up the second kiln of the new year.  I'm working on glazing coffee cups this morning.  These cups are shorter and wider with white glaze inside and tenmoku on the outside (brown).  I have two bars (two full sections on my shelves) glazed and am working on the last section (the bottom shelf) of pieces to glaze.  Please note, the top shelf are extra pieces that do not fit into my kiln and the HEATER is really on. 

Gina was nice enough to carry some of the pieces from the last kiln up to the gallery.  Just remember, we are always open...even if we have some snow.

We have over 400 pieces in the gallery.  The bowl below has a raw lip that is chattered and tenmoku glaze on the inside.

Stay Warm!  David

Some Pretty Winter Wonderland Photos from the Storm

This is a view from the backyard of the house looking east with the sun coming up after our "snow storm" on Tuesday.  We had at least 10 inches of new snow on the ground.  Both, Gina and I did not have classes on Tuesday evening due to the snow.  We have another snow storm headed from the west coast for next week!

A view of the studio and gallery on Wednesday morning!  Thanks to our neighbor...the parking area has been plowed out and we are ready for customers.  Yes, I have been working on the next kiln in my studio.

A view of the house...winter wonderland!  Maybe we should take down the wreaths to help spring come...

It was a really pretty morning with the new snow.

made in David's pie plate. 

It's tradition now. 

His are the best because they are

1st Kiln of 2010 is Done

The kiln has been fired and I have contacted everyone for their pieces.  I have attached a few pictures to see the kiln being loaded, the door being bricked up, the kiln HOT, and pieces completed on the table from the kiln.   

Pictures of the Kiln Firing  (you can go to the slide show with captions...good luck and enjoy)

I have started to work on the next kiln.  I even ventured down to the studio today in the "storm" to work on some small gravy boats.

Stay Warm!
