And it has begun…sculpting, building, throwing, glazing and firing has now ensuedJ Oh, how I have missed being in the studio! I got approval to begin my endeavor of creating my first solo show this semester. Along with my solo show, I also got approval to move forward with the train kiln project and the components that will go within.
I am quite excited with my plans for these projects! I am planning on making some really unique slab tumblers for the train kiln (I can’t wait to see how they fire!). Besides, wood fire throwing has been done so many times-let’s spice it up a bit J However, I have begun throwing some on my kick wheel. By the end of the semester, my legs should be like iron!
I have also begun the pieces for my solo show this week. I am really looking forward to doing these pieces and hosting a show. I just hope that my nerves can handle it! Hey, keep it simple right? I have included a beginning picture of one of the pieces that will be in the show.
This week alone, I have researched a new clay body recipe, a new glaze recipe and have made glaze patties and glaze tiles. Busy, busy, busy. I will be making the new clay body next week along with glazing those tiles and some very patient pieces. Not to mention, I will be running the slabs for the train kiln pieces and building more pieces for my show.
Here is a few snapshots for your viewing pleasureJ (and don’t forget to feed the fishies!)
