–late summer work

We recently filled the kiln with a fresh load of bisque ware (from wet clay to a hard, fired piece that has a high “tink” when you flick it).  We quickly followed that up with a glaze-load brimming with new designs, along with some previous favorites.   We like to send the newbies into the kiln with the stand-by, more “experienced” designs…the old guys escort the young-uns through the “sauna” as we like to call it.

We’ve introduced some new fable-like pieces that tell a wee story (left to the imagination…) along with  a few tile full of whimsy and warmth.  In the kiln shelf photos below, you’ll see some of our old friends too–little birds and dogs.

(p.s.  forgive the flash on the photos–we were working late that day…)
