Now that I'm back at the studio...

i'm getting back the rest of the stuff that I glazed in August. I did go in and glaze 16 pieces a few days ago from stuff I had made then as well, so that'll all be out soon :)

Drunken Cowl Bowl
Red/white clay mix; forrest green translucent outer glaze, white and mocha inner glaze; 10" diameter and 2.5" high
I made this one day when I saw some guy (who has been doing this for >40 years) make a really beautiful wide, shallow bowl, and wanted to see if I could make something similar. this came out ok, not as wide as I had hoped. I call it the Drunken Cow Bowl because the inside ended up looking like cow hide, but where the cow was probably drunk and swaying and had green grass stuck to his sides from when he fell over after the 8th shot of tequila.
one big downer on this was that the week this was fired was the week that, unbeknownst to me, the studio managers decided to fire the kiln to a slightly lower temperature but for a longer time... which made the glaze drip down the sides a little too much. So i had to grind some of it off with a grinding stone. oops!
