Raku

Despite the rain we had a great Raku session this afternoon with ArtsHouse on Tour, at The Green Place, Sileby. Leaves were stuck on the pots to resist the glaze with variable results, but some came out beautifully

Looking forward to Saturday 6th June when I'll be taking my wheel to The Green Place, Sileby, hopefully there will be lots of folk there who would like to have a go.

It was a bit cold and windy but the weather held out yesterday for Ceramics in Charnwood, sold a couple of pieces and met some very interesting people.  The local kids were on the wheel making some lovely pots with Bridget McVey and I.

New bowls

Been playing around with combining slabbing and throwing, the bases of these are thrown and the walls made up from strips of slap stuck on while the base is still on the wheel. So far this seems to be producing some pleasing results. The pebbles were rescued from my dog Lenny. He brings them into the house, puts them on the sofa and barks at them.

Firing number two

I have rebuilt this kiln from an empty shell and a pile of bricks. I did the first firing in it last week but it didn't get up to temperature, I was hoping to get it to around 1260-1280 degrees C (cone 8 or 9), but only reached 1170. The back flue wall had shrunk away from the sides during the firing which may explain the failure to reach temperature. The gaps have been plugged with ceramic fibre and the second firing is underway.

We have become the proud owners of a lovely blue van, perfect for carting pottery stuff to events and not too shabby for the odd muddy dog or three.
