Cracked Dragon Eggs

It started over the summer but now I am pretty much finished re-making my test tiles to hang in studio. I tested on 3 clay bodies, a white, a dark chocolate and a color in between. There are a few I missed, a few more I would like to test on chocolate and any other glazes I acquire that I might want for a project or two in the future.

First project of the semester.

After taking a month off from another semester I am back in the studio. I reorganized and cleaned. Then I couldn't find anything after re-organizing and got placards to put on bins so I can find tools. Now I am remaking test tiles to use as decoration of studio (dual purpose). I am waiting on some clay I ordered to come in. In the meantime I am reclaiming clay for "Project Test Tiles". Going to make studio use pottery first, then back to projects after that.

Another semester in the books. This semester I tried different types of clay and focused on clean finishes. I also got to make my first batch of minis. Now to deep clean the studio, take a week off and figure out what I want to make over the summer.

Today I tackled making minis off the hump. Teapots, cups, lidded pots, vases, flower pots, plates, bowls etc....the hard part will be cleaning them up once leather hard! These were inspired by Claire Whittington Art. She makes fingertip size minis and is AMAZING! Check out her page and Etsy store!
