July 6...another glaze kiln unloaded
Two full shelves of mugs were glazed and fired. I am delighted by how they look. Shapes and handles vary; all are designed to be stable, not tipsy; each proudly wears the Winter Solstice logo and a beautiful blue glaze that fits the clay body well. More about Winter Solstice when I have permission to spread the news. Hint...think sewing and crafts! There are 50+ of these mugs. Have had some interesting requests lately for plates with ravens and a large cheese platter with a black bear. I decided to add some baby bears following Mama Bear and came up with these pieces: Raven Plate: Approx. 8"x 9.5" Bears platter: Approx. 10" x 13" Oooops! I just realized that I forgot to photograph other pieces from the kiln. Will do so tomorrow and add more photos to this post. Please return to see some of the other pieces just fired! WillowAK Pottery Studio will be open to any and all visitors on Saturday, July 19. That's the day of the Willow Garden Tour.. .a self-guided...
