Tea Break

I'm working through some more bowls in the studio. These are larger, wider and thrown out of porcelain. I'm envisioning a pretty liner glaze inside...not sure yet how they'll be glazed. As usual I'm always wanting more glazes yet don't find myself making the time for testing and then the continued testing that follows that.
Sometimes I'll test a few new ones out but then I don't go much farther than that. I hope to use this little kiln to test more glazes so I can bring more bright and colorful glazes into my work rather than relying on the tried and true ones I've used for a while. I'm excited about these bowls, I textured them immediately on the wheel, which is something I usually wait until the pots are drier. The texture isn't very deep since it's in the inside of the bowl. I want it to still be a smooth surface for food.

I also finished up a large batch of these textured wall tiles, some large and small, also which I textured a panel on the top that glaze will pool into. The shelves are filling up and soon I'll have to load up a bisque kiln just to clear up some working space in the studio. It's amazing how you can fill up a studio with so much stuff!

I'm off to finish up my tea break. Thanks for reading! Happy Monday!
