Yesterday, instead of making the chalice stems (it just didn't feel like the day to do it/maybe procrastination?), I decided to make a couple of yunomis and trim some bowls. Later in the day, Becky and Elaine came into the studio and so after trimming the bowls, I chatted with them. We're all getting ready for an upcoming barrel firing and raku firing on Saturday too. Here are some candid shots.
Elaine burnishing bottles... (one is there in the pic on her table).
Becky doing design work on cave art bottles.The question I sometimes ask myself is 'what do I make next?' Pottery is a creative outlet for me, so I don't try to plan much.
These pendants made out of porcelain are for the upcoming barrel firing. Burnished three of them with olive oil and a spoon. I ended up etching a design onto the rim of the bowls and forgot to take a pic. So, what do I make next? When I'm wondering what to make, I make yunomi cups. I'm learning which forms of cups I like best. Still am trying new ones, like the one on the front left in the first pic. Good times in the studio.
Today, I've got to make those chalice stems.
