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 :)

Here are a few pics

Almost there!!

Well today I got into my studio and glazed my dinnerware. It took me 4 hours and 20 minutes. But its done and all I have to do now is wipe the bottoms and put them in the kiln!!!

My goal was end of March and I am well ahead of my goal! Hopefully i can get everything fired this week.

So close..yet so far away!

I have been working on my dinnerware for what seems like forever! I am in the process of waxing the bottoms so that I can glaze the dishes, fire them and put them in my cupboard!! Heres hoping with 2 kids (3 and 3 months) and a husband I can get them done by the end of March...that is my goal!

Teapot Set

Been working on a Teapot set for a friend. Wish it came out a little more blue but was happy with the results. Need to work on getting better with the spray gun.

Throwing Mugs

Was throwing mugs the other day...

Back to it

Today I got back into my studio for the first time in over 10 weeks. I always have a hard time throwing bowls that are the same. This was my attempt today. I was pretty happy with them...they are not exact but they are pretty close.

"Mad Potters" Tea Party Fundraiser

I have been working very hard on an upcoming fundraiser for the Mississauga Potters Guild. Here are a few pictures of some of the mugs that I am donating and my teapot for the silent auction.
