Finally got a studio day – trying my hand with some porcelain, it is very smooth and more difficult to throw. Worked on some small pieces to try to get a feel for it. Trimming tomorrow.
New lanterns with the same glaze as the newest piggy bank. Looks almost like opals or abalone in some areas, just beautiful. White clay this time.
Also dealt with the large dark plates that I threw about 3 weeks ago, they were very nicely leather hard after a stint in the green room. Since one of the four plates mysteriously disappeared, I no longer have a set and decided to trim each one on its own. So one got some stamping, another some green and white slip. Put them back in the green room, loosely covered, to v e r y s l o w l y dry. Keeping all fingers crossed that there is no cracking.
Black Mountain Clay
