I feel like I'm finding my stride in the studio. It's taken me a while since being back from my Penland class. I think I've just had so much on my mind that I've not known exactly what to do.Getting a bunch of pots made has been the best thing for me. That has always been my mantra, 'Make pots'. I can sit around for days and have things go through my mind and my sketchbook but it's not until I get on the wheel and make some pots that things start coming together for me. I guess it's the physicallity of it all.
Using the red tempra paint for layout has been a lifesaver for me. I can mess something up in the blink of an eye because I haven't thought it out well enough. And once it's scratched in there...well it's there.
I've got a bisque full of plates and bowls going tonight; I made cups, more plates, and decorated serving bowls and a couple teapots this afternoon. A good day. I can't wait to get some of this work thorough the glaze kiln. Hopefully by the end of the weekend.
Thanks for checking in.
