trying to stay motivated...

it's so muggy today the air feels thick... it has left me with very little ambition. but we did have a kiln to finish unloading...

unfortunately the bowl in the picture above has a spot of kiln crud in the bottom... it might be saved with a little grinding and re-firing.

some more of our collaborative mugs... Jeff threw the bodies, I handled and decorated them.

I am happy with these bowl & spoon jars. Jeff had a bunch of shino and turquoise bowl in this firing and most need to be re-fired. We have been having problems with iron pops with Highwater's Zella clay. Highwater claims that no one has ever complained about that before (but we know that isn't true!). It's extremely annoying and we have decided we are not going to be using it anymore.

Our inventory was getting low so it is good to have fresh pots for the shelves. next on the list is photographing some work for etsy... I have been an etsy slacker lately. Luckily I have been keeping the Co-op stocked! I hope all of you out in the blogosphere have been more productive than me today, which wouldn't be too hard a feat to attain!
