Art in the Park

This weekend I did Art in the Park at the Dundas Driving Park. The weather was not the best but it was my first show I have done in years.

I am looking forward to making things on a more regular basis and get out to more shows.

Dinnerware Update

My last post was way too long ago.  I have been making stuff here and there but never remember to post any pictures.  Here is my finished dinnerware from my 2012 post :p

 

Glazed and in the Kiln

Well I spent 4 hours glazing my new dishes today. So glad it's done and the first half are in the kiln! I have my finger & toes crossed that they come out the right colour!

Here are some pictures of the process.

 

 

One is always lost to trimming...

I trimmed my bowls and plates tonight. Lost a plate and a bowl which means I need to throw a couple more. I should know better than to only throw enough. Because enough is always one too few!

You have some bowls!

Tonight I threw the last pieces of my dinnerware set. I had to throw a few more plates that didn't make it though trimming process. Then I threw all the cereal bowls. Hopefully they all make it through trimming and into the kiln!

All trimmed up.

I trimmed my plates tonight and didn't lose one! I am getting much better at trimming. I usually lose one on the wheel by turning the wheel on by accident when the piece hasn't been attached to the wheel head.

Throwing dishes

Well I continue my quest to throw another set of dishes. Tonight I threw the dinner plates for my set. I have 4 weeks to finish throwing them and glaze them. Fingers crossed!!
