I've finally finished high fire glazing all of my pieces. They won't be going into the art show because I believe I can sell them in a better way by myself. I am very grateful for everything my teacher has given me and all the knowledge she has gifted me along the way. She knows I love her like a mother but a birds gotta spread its wings and fly away one day

My teacher told me that since I am using such a heavy glazing technique I will need to wax the feet of all my pieces. So i started that process yesterday. I only have a few pieces to wax now and I gotta say, It does help a lot and takes some of the worry of dripping onto the foot away.

I've gotten through glazing half of my pieces in high fire and I couldn't be more excited. I've got another 8 or so pieces to glaze and I'm using my teachers pinterest posts to help me find more obscure and unique combinations. I'm really hoping they turn out good.

Attempt number two on high fire glazing. I've found 18 pieces that needed to be glazed and I'm going to try my luck at high fire again. Hopefully this time my results will be better and I'll have pieces to show for it.

So I goofed and missed the art show by one day because I didn't pay attention to what I was reading....Turns out I was reading the article for the show from LAST year. Anyways, Most of my pieces sold and I got to keep a couple that didn't. I'm going to attempt to do this all over again at the next show that will be at our own school.

I've almost finished all the pieces I will be high fire glazing and I couldn't be more excited. My teacher is giving me an amazing opportunity to bring my pieces to an art show and try to sell them alongside her own pieces. I'm really hopeful that they will do well at the show.
