A Glimpse…

Here are a couple shots of the gallery with different focal points.  


We’re just about set up for the weekend and I have the door open today for a preview.  
Every year I forget how quickly the Cape changes.  The traffic had a noticeable uptick yesterday and it’s great seeing people walk around town again…even better when they swing into the gallery.  

I’ll be here today until mid-afternoon.
The real Open Studio begins tomorrow:
Saturday: 10-3
Sunday: 10-3

Porcelain Progress

I’ve gotten through a little bit of porcelain.  I was hoping to have gotten more accomplished by now but it’s been a little slow going with this stuff.  It almost feels like I’m working with clay…almost.  I’m starting to get used to it again so hopefully by the weekend I’ll have enough together to bisque and then glaze up next week.  That could be another pottery pipe dream though…we’ll see.

Here are some mugs…I’m trying out some new shapes.

One of those little 1 pounders got the fluting treatment.  We’ll see if any others get attacked by any tools tonight.
Here are a couple of small vases.  I’m trying to work up the nerve to throw some vertical forms with this stuff….for now it’s small or bowls.  

Could there be some teapots in the future.  I only have one left in the gallery so I thought I would experiment with a few here.  This may be all you see of them if they don’t go as planned.
Well…more later.  It seems like it’s been a slow day in potteryblogland….maybe people are working?

Porcelain Time

Time to throw some porcelain. The whiteware wheel is cleaned and ready
to go. I'm hoping the earthenware particles aren't floating around the
studio to pollute the porcelain.

From the Collection

I haven’t seen these in ages.  When we renovated our house about 4 years ago we moved into my parent’s house and what didn’t got to storage went with us.  I just dropped the kids off for a sleepover and found these pour bottles still hanging out.  

Why don’t we play a game of name that potter?

Going Big

We don’t have too many guests tonight but perhaps I should figure out how to get this pan for a summer paella party.  

I wish things would look as good when I try to scale my work up a bit larger.

Buy the book and anything else paella related here.  
And, if you have an extra $1300, save a little slice for me.

Mmmm….Paella

I just started making the paella for tonight.  I’m using our large 18 inch paella pan which I thought made a lot…but I think these guys win that battle.  Plus, it looks like the guy across the pan is multitasking while on his phone.

Glaze Recipes

As part of the next version of the website, I’m going to put up a technical page with the recipes I use in my studio.  The only problem is that like many other potters, this photo shows my glaze recipe filing system.  It is fairly similar to my office filing system….they both need a little work.

For all of the sharing going on with potters and the intertubes, it seems hard to find reliable recipes with a quick google search.  Everybody I know is always quick to share recipes when asked but not too many people have the info readily available.

Here are few potters who already have great tech pages up:
Anybody know of others?
