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!!

Not sure its Pink enough

I have been playing with a new glaze. It's pink but I think it's too pale it almost looks cream.

I do like the two tone concept of the gray with the pink but the pink is just too pale.

Throwing Marathon

Well I managed to get into my studio on Saturday and throw 8 mugs and 8 small salad plates. On Sunday I added all the handles and trimmed the plates an everything made it!
