I'm starting to get the hang of making these mugs and am very excited for the art festival that's coming up. I plan on bringing a few sets of mugs and or bowls to the festival and seeing if anyone would like to purchase them.
I am now waiting on my pieces to go into the high fire kiln. First we are running a greenware kiln, which gives me the chance to see my new slip design pieces. I used a blue died porcelain slip to color on of them and left the other a regular porcelain slip. Fingers crossed they hold up through firing.
I have completed two cups and a bowl out of terra cotta now and am ready to glaze and fire them. I will first do the smaller pieces then the larger ones. I'm hoping that I wedged everything perfectly and that they'll come out of the kiln perfect.
I've started glazing my pieces with high-fire glazes and I'm super excited to see how the combinations I chose will come out. My teacher let me use the catalogs she has to find specific combinations.
