Some free time

I've had alot of free time at home so ive been throwing alot more than i used to! I have almost everything glazed from this year i think i only have about ten more pieces.

I also fired my barrel this weekend and i got some very very cool results. I didnt take any pictures of my pieces from the firing yet but here are some of emilys pieces that came out!

Me and my dad have been adjusting the barrel and making changes to how we are firing it so hopefully we can get the technique down to almost perfection!

i bet you cant open and raise in one continuous motion :]

Gnomes

Heres a new mug that ive started to make! It is kinda cool to look at and hold :)

Heres a plate that im also starting to make :] they are really really hard to get right because you have to throw a flat tuna can shape and then cut it in half with a spring. Heres the video that i learned the idea from on youtube!

 

For this next piece i throw two bowl shapes, (more vertical bowls i guess) and then trimmed the rims so that they fit into each other, (kinda like the rice bowls that matty had been working on) and then i added some dots to the bottom and a little gnome that abby made to the top!!

I also spent some time in the studio on saturday and had a great time with whitney and her daughter! I have a new plate now!

Thats it for this week!
