So here we were with two kilns cooling and 30 degrees plus on the thermometer in our part of town. Do we know how to plan or what? Actually unloaded the 7 cu ft and the 16 cu ft and reloaded both and put them on the clock again. The 16 is doing light glaze load which includes a couple of 22 inch sinks for Panache Ceramic Industries here in the City. They must be delivered Thursday as the Plumbing Gods have decreed it is so. Also pots for the Alberta Legislative Assembly Gift shop. They should be delivered this week as well. Pulled some beautiful pottery out of the kilns today. 40 mugs and 2 tea pots for Lake Louise , and many beautiful bowls and platters for various clients. The Mountain Mist and Centennial glazes are especially nice. Also did a test firing on our new clay body. Looks really cool….
Cindy assembled the pieces of our first attempt at "big" pots, an exercise in throwing in pieces, and it looks good following assembly and trimming. I’ll try and get a picture tomorrow. She’s going to try adding coils and throwing continually as well. Also threw a couple of 24 inch diameter (green) bowls to try the new body. It looks good, feels good, and throws good….now if our glazes fit and it vitrifies properly we have a winner.
Tomorrow I’ll be shipping the Lake Louise order and an order for one of our Jasper clients. Cindy is throwing an order for one of our Canmore locations. More mugs!…
Hot tonite…hope we can all get some sleep…..
