Pottery Available On the Tour

on
Hello again.  I promised to post images of some pottery available here during the Nov. 14 Holiday Tour of Art Studios in Willow.  Here are some pieces with personality from a recent kiln.

This pair of matching butter dishes is already spoken for, but I wanted to show you the fancy foot of stars.  One never knows what you may find on the bottom of a pot.  Many potters think the person washing dishes deserves a surprise every once in awhile.  Many unique butter dishes are still available.

The mug rack is well populated for the tour.

Three new nativity sets have been made.

Moose and fish ornaments are in good supply.
Will be personalized with names if you like.

Still deciding on a glaze strategy for the fish platter. 
Kay's cloche with other pieces just unloaded.
Looking more attractive dressed in Floating Blue!
A BIG black bowl along with serving and yarn bowls.
Some favorite glaze combinations

 I've collected more buckets of glaze, making the decisions more difficult. Dark or light?  Transparent or opaque? Which glazes will layer well together; which will run; which will allow a silk screened image, stamp or carving to show through; and which have enough glaze in the bucket to allow dipping? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

What will it be?
As I look at the moose, he is now silk screened with some glaze chalks added.   Should underglaze be applied?   Multiple colors in the background?   And why did I put a moose on a pie plate in the first place?  Hmmmm...

We joke about blue being a good seller in the pottery world -- and it is!  The sage celaon is sure nice though. How about clear with a colored rim? Time will tell.  Glazing is an opportunity to improve or ruin a piece of pottery!

What do you suggest for Mr. Moose?
Do people make moose meat pie?
