Across the table point of viewTo finish up the big pots for the kiln I made six matching 3 gallon jars. Usually when I make these pots, they're all a little different, necks smaller/larger, height, width, etc. but these are for an order I took last month for set sets of lamps! They're pretty close...
Maybe I've been looking at these jars so long I'm beginning to see things. Maybe it's time for some face jugs?As Romeo Void said,"Never Say Never"
Despite my best efforts to get some brushes busy and begin painting pots, I still had a few pots to make before that happens. My buddy James has been waiting for his yunomi(s) since the summer...
It was a long day. As it is very late (early) I am going to leave the captions up to you. Have fun!
Here's the table as of Thursday night. This morning a mild panic set into my mind as I head into the final week before the firing. Usually I am painting bisque ware by now, but here I am still making pots. Uh oh...No time to elaborate on this, just have to get to work. Have a great day.
the tablethe mature splash pan. after a few weeks of throwingthe lining of the splash pan has a nice coat of clay that prevents thespalsh pan from melting when I use my torch!
Wow! Guess what came in the mail the other day?! Yes it's a beautiful piece of Rascal ware by the notorious Georgette Ohr! It made for a most interesting coffee break...
June Perry Michael I still have that electric tea kettle if you still need one.
I've been trying to bring you up to date with today's work, but can't seem to get along with Blogger! I have a post about visiting Muddy Creek Pottery on Sunday. Also on the day's activities around the shop. I guess I'll check back later when I'm done with my after supper pots...
greenware vases in Mark's shopI wanted to share with you some pictures of our visit to our friends Courtney Smith and Mark Tomczak. I met Mark at Penland during my residency just as he was setting up his Muddy Creek Pottery . Mark had just earned his MFA at the University of Ohio at Athens...
not much left to file anymore,time for a new chainJust in the nick of time the wood is all cut and stacked and out of the rain. My chain is just about used up. I know how it must feel. After working on the invitation to our home sale in Knoxville last night, I had nothing left for the pots...
Briefly, Monday wasn't that great, nothing to report except a bunch of "poor. poor, pitiful me". I continued to correct my clay mixing that began it's ill fate on Saturday. The red dirt that I had blunged and screened, turned out to be more wartery than needed to add to the dry mix...
Michael Kline Pottery Yay 1000 fans! Thanks you all. Just 999,000 before we can march on Washington!
After reading Tony's post today, I realized that what I really needed to do was just make some pots, fill a table! So I did. As far as the blog beat goes, there is something of a genre of a certain post that features these kinds of images. I've seen it everywhere, the table full of pots...
There was something nice about this tiny jar that I found compelling. I'm not sure what is is, maybe proportions, maybe handles. Pottery is a subtle game. The trick will be to remember this pot and be ready to recognize it when it appears on the wheel again.
