Another week away visiting the kids in Surrey and London and my lovely aunt in Hertfordshire, so back to work, psyched myself up and opened my new pristine HUGE bag of porcelain,never used any before it's so lovely fine white and silky, yummy! Didnt attempt the wheel so slab build a couple of pots,fantastic but dries and cracks so had to work quite quickly especially as it is so hot at the moment, so we shall see, mixed a bit of cobalt oxide in whilst wedging so that could be interesting, could now do with a satin/matt glaze, a glossy surface is'nt quite right.
Visited The New AshgateGallery whilst in Farnham, fantastic! took a few photos but my camera battery died, some lovely ceramics and jewellery.
Have also been messing about with burnished beads and pendants ready for rakuing and smoking which I hope to do tomorrow if I can pluck up the courage to fire up the kiln..... Beads in progress....
