I spent my last class at The Clay Studio this Summer glazing and glazing. Â We have to have everything off our shelves and ready to be fired by the end of the week. Â And because it was the last class, we all brought food to “celebrate.” Â Since it is a morning class, I brought doughnuts. Or I had planned to bring doughnuts. Â I made the mistake of leaving them in a plastic bag on the counter last night. Â When I got to them this morning, they were crushed to crumbs and there was a hole ripped in the bag. Â The culprit? Â
BORIS!
Boris came to live with us exactly one year ago and he has gone from a timid, scared jumpy cat who sleeps all the time into a little feisty feline felon. Â This is his house now and he is not about to let us forget it.
On to the pottery
The above pieces are white porcelain with underglaze surface decoration. Â They’ll get glazed with a clear satin matte glaze.
The pieces below are nerikomi fired at cone 6 and unglazed.
I plan to take more classes at The Clay Studio, but in the Fall, I am returning to Fleisher.
