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!

Back at it!

Well I have finally managed to get inspired enough to get back into my shed. Have a few things in mind. Started off with a few mugs and some plates. Here are a couple of pictures.

Finally Finished!

Well, in February I posted that I had glazed my dinnerware and that it was going in the kiln. Well I was very disappointed when I opened the kiln and realized that I had glazed the pieces too thin and you could see through the glaze. It looked brown and icky!

Well after almost crying at the thought of 2 years of working on it wasted, I thought about it and decided I would attempt to reglaze the pieces. After a successful test piece, I reglazed all my dinnerware. Here we are 7 months later (thats how long things take with a newborn!) I have finished.

Here are a couple of the pieces.

A Teapot

Well I finished my teapot for the Tea Party, I love the shape and I really like the cane handle. Were only a week and a half from the Tea Party. Can't wait to see what everyone else made!

Preparing for the Tea Party

Well its that time of year again when I am busy making mugs and a teapot for the Mississauga Potters "Mad Hatters" Tea Party. I love the teapot I made...so much that I really don't want to give it away! But it just proves I can make them so i will make another for me :)
