Pottery Sale / Bisque Fire

I’m finally getting a chance to bisque fire all the stuff I made over spring break.  The kiln is on and firing!  I noticed as I was loading the kiln that I was rapidly running out of shelf space.  I decided to haul a bunch of my finished pieces to Ligonier for an “End of the School Year/Clean off the Shelves” Pottery Sale.  There was a really good response and out of the twenty-some pieces that I took in I only brought back four.  I consider most of the pieces I sold “my experimental work” as I was mostly trying glazes and different forms.  A few people requested items of a certain shape or glaze color for next time.  Now that I’m officially on summer break I plan to spend a good amount of time in the clay studio.  I’m going to head down to the hardware store to get a good respirator and one of those long mixers that can be attached to a drill.  Then I’ll be ready to mix up some Pam’s Blue glaze.  I’ve got about 3 weeks left of my class at IUSB but when I’m not in class or doing homework I hope to be glazing the bisque pieces and throwing some new items.
