The bisque is loaded with a week to go before my Holiday Studio Sale.
I worked on some new deco on a few of these pots and I look forward to seeing them fired. I have about 10 more pots that could potentially get decorated and fired before next weekend too. These are high end jars and a few plates. I'd really like to get them through the kiln but I felt like I needed to focus on the bread and butter pots first.
Some of you potters out there may wonder about that photo above. I don't stack pots in the bisque like most folks do. This is because my slip fluxes a bit at cone 04 and if the pots are stacked they may stick together and pull the slip off. So I just stack like a glaze load. It's no big deal and it actually helps me to see how I'll get the next load set up after glazing.
Here's the info on my upcoming Studio Sale
Saturday Dec. 3rd. 10 am till 4pm
Sunday Dec. 4th Noon till 4pm
757 Wallace Grove Road Shelby NC 28150
I am going to have some really nice pots so I hope to have a good turnout. The first weekend in December is when every potter in NC and his brother (also a potter) has their Studio sale. I'm hoping my locals turn out as well as folks from afar.
The showroom will be open through Christmas by appointment or by chance. It's a good idea to call ahead as I may be taking a nap or gone to the grocery. 704 480 6046
