Back in the Glaze Room

Amazing how time slips through your fingers. I’m back in the glaze room getting ready to fire the kiln on Friday. I have 120 new pieces that I’m working on which includes lots of new mugs and wall sculptures. Things here in Door County are starting to warm up . . . at least for now the weather has been beautiful – mid-30′s and the sun is shinning. Makes it hard to be in the studio all day but summer is fast approaching and I’m hoping to be a little ahead of the curve as far as inventory goes this year. Of course when the new porcelain work is done I’ll post new pictures on plumbottompottery.com. Thanks for checking in.

Don’t forget to hug and kiss your pots everyday, you wouldn’t want them to feel neglected!

Spraying

Here I am spraying glaze on one of my most recent oval casseroles. I installed a spray booth in the studio last winter and the booth has been an integral part of my glazing process since. I used to spray outside – which got kinda cold in January! Spraying allows me to get a nice even coat on larger pieces and also allows an “airbrushed” look by subtly overlapping glazes.

I fired the kiln yesterday and plan on unloading 120 new porcelain pieces on Weds. Plan on seeing pictures of the new work here and on my website PlumBottomPottery.com. Til then.
