These bowls are drying a bit and will soon be trimmed. Made 8 bowls this pm. Planning on firing my kiln for the first time this next weekend so I have much to prepare, plus these need to dry! Was so inspiring to visit galleries and get some ideas from all the pottery I saw. Encourages me to venture out and try different things. Loved visiting Clayworks too and Highwater Clays in Asheville. Planning on spending a good amount of time in the studio this week. The weather looks to be good too- not too warm. :)
Hard to see here, but my bowls are taking a different shape. The smaller ones are made with 2.25 lbs. of clay- and when trimmed are about a cereal bowl size. Didn't take me long to make each.
While I was away, the zinnias continued to grow from seed. At this rate, they may bloom and flower when I'm gone again in less than a month.
While I had a great time away, it's so good to be home. I'm such a homebody. Really missed my studio and being at home. These all bloomed while I was away. L--- ? Center- dianthus, R- verbena (purchased from the clearance rack at Lowe's!)
My hyacinth bean vines are growing well too. :)
This is the sanctuary at the Episcopal Cathedral in Atlanta. Loved visiting there. Good to have gone, yet like I said, it's wonderful to be home! More soon... Here's to the beginning of a busy week!

Look forward to that cone 6 firing on your bowls. Do you know how you are going to glaze them?
