Our busy studio

Just a couple of shots of our busy studio at BayArts. We're all getting ready for "The Potter's Kitchen"


Painted the last two plates for "The Potter's Kitchen"

I painted my past two plates for "The Potter's Kitchen." I'm pretty concerned about the pink flowers on the elephant plate - I unfortunately didn't learn about the light pink underglaze issue until after this plate was put into another kiln. Who knows - maybe I'll get lucky?

Minor issues

Having some problems with the Amaco light pink Velvet Underglaze - I've used it for years, but for some reason the clear glaze is pulling away from it.
 

It looks pretty bad, and those pockmarks go right down to bare clay. The same thing happened on the Tiger plate as well. I'm attempting a refire.
