I started this post on June 21st and never really finished it or got around to publishing it. So here it is now.
I had a good day today. I made some pots and for the first time in a while I felt at ease in the studio. I felt like I could just make my work and not worry too much about where it was going or if the clay was gonna be a problem or whatever. I made pots that are for everyday use, not special exhibition type pots, or pots that ask for much attention. I think making those pots gave me some space to relax.
I made some honey pots. I'm looking forward to getting some local honey from my beekeeping friends soon. I also made a half dozen luncheon plates and a few soup mugs. The tumblers I made yesterday got slipped as well.
They are a different shape than the last ones I made and bigger. I stayed with the dimple deco. though because I really liked the way it came out last time.
I made 3 cut sided plates just because I've been wanting to try them out. If I like these after firing I may make more. I think the edges will pick up the soda glaze nicely.
