More pottery pieces I've made

I have included a slideshow of completed, and in-progress pottery, glass, and photography at the bottom of this blog. Please check it out!

Some jewellry bowls I have made

I have been busy working in my basement studio preparing bisqued pieces to take to a Red Deer College Summer Art Series course on cone 6 glazes that I have been anxiously anticipating. I purchased a used gas kiln that I haven't had the courage to fire yet and have quite a bit of work stockpiled for the day when I can confidently brave the kiln with my kiln goddess at my side! Until then I have been using mainly cone 6 stoneware with the odd piece in porcelain or high fire stoneware in anticipation of eventually achieving that lovely cone 10 look. I have been using Ravenscrag slip with 20% Ferro Frit and oxides added in, which offers a somewhat limited pallette of colors and textures. This course offers the promise of rich, colorful glazes which can be fired to cone 6, as well as a week spent among people who also have a passion for creating items of beauty from lumps of mud..I can't wait!
