offcntrI'd ask where the last two weeks went, but I know exactly where--into the studio.
Clay Fest was spectacular, the place setting sale was not the last one. My total net was up over $1400 from last year, and I ran nearly out of so many things. So Monday after, I was up early and back in the studio throwing pots. Averaging 75-100 lbs. a day, soup bowls, tall mugs, stew mugs, colanders, batter bowls. Pushed through enough bisque firings to make up for the absolute slow-motion process of drying pots in fall in Oregon.
Started glazing on Saturday, missed Sunday due to an all-afternoon Clayfolk meeting, back again on Monday. Long days the rest of the week, and I finished glazing just before 6 pm the following Saturday. To load on Sunday, yesterday, for today's firing. Sometime later this week or early next, I start throwing again for Holiday Market (this batch will go to Medford for Clayfolk). Fortunately, I have a good half kiln's worth of pots leftover from this cycle.
Didn't get many pics while throwing, but I did remember to grab a few from glazing, mostly flat stuff: baking dishes, dinner pasta bowls. Also a few tall things, cookie jars and canisters.
(These four were part of a special order that includes matching stew mugs and dessert plates.)
