Glazetime

I’m finishing up my glazing today.

I’ll be firing Ryan’s soda-kiln tomorrow so most of the work is just getting a liner glaze for this round. Some of the work will have some line decorations on it…maybe….the rest will get

Static Bisqueware

Obviously, my phantom apprentice didn’t get the entire list accomplished.  So now I’m stuck catching up this morning.

Pots?

I’ve been using the black version of these potter’s pens from Axner for a little while.  I’ve liked the fine lines that I can get.  They make different gauge tips for each.  I thought that I would try the Blue … Read the rest
