Warm weather has returned to my back porch studio which means I am back behind my pottery wheel! 😍
This is where it all happens: starting with a ball of clay to a finished glazed piece of pottery!
I’m actually behind my phone camera taking a shot of my studio surrounded by ostrich ferns.
I worked on mugs this week.
My back porch studio is open to all the elements including dandelion seed heads blowing in the spring breeze and . . .. . . Carpenter bees! This particular fellow kept buzzing around my head as I was attaching handles to mugs. So, I snapped! 😄Making handles for each mug on my back porch studio.
Because the weather has been so lovely, I fired up my kiln to test a new glaze. The purple glaze turned out well on the clay I use for mugs.
In the foreground are two test tiles. The test tiles are made with my clay and only fired once. Then I applied the glaze and fired the test tiles again. In the background are mugs hot off the wheel. The mugs are still wet and will air dry for a week to ten days. Once dry, they will undergo one firing in preparation for glaze then the mugs will be glazed and fired again.
Super talented you are. Where is this beauty being made? What part of country?
