Glazing Days...

I have been glazing my pieces for the next kiln. I need this shelving unit full plus other pieces to fill the kiln. It is my hope that the kiln will be loaded this week.

Enjoy a picture of the flowers outside my studio door.

Saki Set

While in California we had saki one evening in which everyone encouraged me to make something like this....

Happy Friday!

Sake Server and Cups

Okay, I got some inspiration while I was on our family vacation in California.  We had dinner in a Japanese restaurant in Pal Alto.  This restaurant was one of Steve Jobs favorites.  We had sake and I was encouraged by loved ones to make both the container that the sake was served in and the cups in which we enjoyed the sake from.  Here is my first attempt at this...

I hope you are staying cool in this very hot weather.

Sake container.



The two pieces separated - sake goes in the piece on the left and hot water goes in the piece on the right.

Back to Work!

I've been on a family vacation in the wine country of California. It is time to get back to work...

I ran a bisque yesterday and Gina unloaded the pieces this morning for me. Now they need some sanding and glazing.

Happy Summer!

Getting Ready for the Show

Gina has been working on the display this evening for the show. She believes there are at least 600 pieces of pottery in the gallery right now!

Fired My Own Pieces Today!

I fired a kiln load of my own pieces today! We will unload the kiln on Friday. We have NYC Mugi group coming on Saturday. I will fire the kiln again next week for them.

In addition to firing the kiln, I built two trays.

The photo is from Gina and I loading the kiln. We will try to take one when we unload the kiln.

I hope all is well.
