The first thing I did this weekend was get glaze on all these pieces. I was feeling very smug about how well that was going too until I realized that I used the WRONG green glaze to touch up a couple of spots on the lidded casserole. Instead of washing it all off and starting over (what I probably should have done), I just added more of the wrong glaze so that it looked like I did it on purpose.
Then I loaded up the kiln. If luck holds, I'll have some finished things to show you next week.
I also made a few new pieces. I'm still experimenting with the new textures. Allen said that I really needed to see how far I could stretch the clay out after applying the texture. So I tried it. The pieces in white are the really scary stretched out pieces. Did I mention that this was scary? Really pushing a piece as far as it can go before it collapses...I am NOT comfortable with it.
Meanwhile, Gail was giving a demonstration for a couple of her friends. She's going to be so happy that I'm sharing this picture. Seriously, she was doing a GREAT job explaining what she was doing.
