Happy New Year!

Or Happy… Year? I guess Â 2013 isn’t exactly “new” since a month has already come and gone. Happy Day After Groundhog Day? Happy Super Sunday!

And it has been far too long since I’ve even glanced at this poor blog. So I’ve decided to give your retinas a treat and share some work that I finished last year. The first pots with my new brown and “white” glazes!

The mixing bowl. I really like the form. I think it will become my standard mixing bowl shape where I can explore some surface decoration. I’ll try to post more about what went “wrong” later. The glaze didn’t turn out as white as expected.

Glaze Fire Results – October 2012

Here are some of the highlights of the load I pulled out of the kiln in late October. Actually, you can see some of the mugs in the Zombie Run post.

But here is some of the best non-sculptural work:

: zombie mugs

: handmade mixing bowl

: glossy rust cups

: charger mugs

: barely blue pie plate

: black and brown berry bowl

: stoneware mugs

: stoneware mixing bowl

: splattered bowl

All functional ware. All wheel thrown with Warm Brown Stoneware and glaze fired to ^6.

Pretty good results overall. I like the combination of the Waterfall Brown and Licorice glazes (both from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes). I also mixed up a small amount of the Glossy Clear Liner to use on the inside of some pots.

As for form, I feel like I’ve got a pretty good variety in this load. I’m still refining a lot of things but I’m making progress.

I’ve got a bunch of pots downstairs drying that I hope to get finished for Christmas. I’ve also got some more posts to publish on the blog here. Hopefully soon! Thanks for reading.
