using text and images describe your process, what you are working on and thinking about. This is a good place to put up pictures of things you have just made, stuff going into the bisque or what it looks like when you've applied the glaze but not fired it yet.


You need to do this at LEAST once a week. Pictures and text get full credit.


The point is to use the blog as an extension of your thoughts.

Cups, wheel altered bowl and vases

5/19/2011

left and right handed cups, wheel altered bowl and two vases. Note the glazes make both large graphic positive and negative shapes which move playfully againts the surfaces of the projects.

These projects are very much specif to their purposes - the vases are for brushes in my studio, the cups for myself and left-handed friends and the bowl can be sued for food or display.

All of them show movement in form, surface and color design as well as specific purpose.

Nice to see how the similar glaze makes them a set.

the teapots are bisqued

Picture
My Tea pots have come out of the bisque kiln at last. I have been working on them for about two months – very slowly. I started them in late November.

 

Now I have to think about how I want to glaze them. One of the tea pots has been glazed, but I don’t like how it came out – it was in the gas kiln and the kiln got too hot!

thrown lid with pulled top

To make a lid throw a 'bowl' with a narrow base and a flanged lip. Measure carefully with the calipers to make sure it will fit in the pot. With the lid still stuck to the bat you can see if they fit together by gently setting the lid into the pot.

When the lid is leather soft a top of pulled clay ribbons.

Putting a spout on a tea pot

a spout is thrown and then cut and placed on to the side of the tea pot. The pot itself is just a lidded jar. Pull a handle and off you go! Make sure the top of the spout is higher than the highest level of the tea!
