Yesterday I glazed the last load of pots and reloaded the kiln. I inlayed some of the drawings with a black stain. You can see what it looks like there as I sponge it off. I've got a few tests in this kiln that I'm looking forward to showing. I guess I'll unload tomorrow. I fired a half cone cooler this time. I've been experiencing some blistering of my glaze. I also did a 10 min soak at the end. I'm worried that the pots at the bottom of the kiln may be slightly underfired. We'll see I guess.
In non pottery related news:
I'm quite behind on the music scene these days. Yesterday I was turned on to Lily Allen. I'm liking her quite a lot. I emailed Gary and he confirmed that she is indeed noteworthy. (if Gary says it's cool it's COOL)
I'm reading Coraline (Be sure to watch the trailer) . It's been made into a movie ya know. Can't wait for that. I love the button eyes....scary. Oh right, Neil Gaiman wrote the book.
