Not Piggy Banks
After a the holiday craziness, I have been given a very short reprieve from making pigs. Along with the dinnerware order I made some porcelain bowls and this shallow bowl/plate. It felt good to get back to carving those ginkgo leaves.
Since this is porcelain, and no slip, I will glaze them in celadon. I like it when I have pots planned from start to finish. It makes glazing less of a chore.
funny I read the title as new piggy banks and I was wondering what the new would be, ha, it is nice to know what glaze you'll use in advance, sometimes I agonize over which glaze to use at the very end.
I'm a pretty efficient glazer. Once I was glazing a full 10ft kiln load at an art center and a friend came in to glaze 4 pots. I was done before she was.
I welcome and appreciate comments. Lately I have had a lot of spam and therefore have had to turn on word verification as well as comment moderation for posts older than 14 days.

And the bowl will be one of your beauties!
ReplyDeleteGlazing is easy for me....white! But the decisions I have to make when I get to the painting part!
It looks beautiful already. And it must feel good to take a break from the banks.
