Welcome to clay camp.
Well – its my primary focus for the next 5 weeks. I have up to 24 students in 2 age groups. Ages range from 6-17. They are with me for 2 weeks – one of creating, sculpting, wheel throwing, hand building; and another of finishing, glazing, decorating.
And in my off time – I am making things like mad in preparation for Beadfest in Philadelphia in August…
Last Friday I did a post over at Art Jewelry Elements blog about the loading of the ^10 high fire reduction kiln. We unloaded today! It was a great firing. Not a ton of reduction – so out copper bearing glazes flashed more green then red. Simply beautiful in my opinion!
The first thing I saw this morning!
Taking it apart – shelf by shelf.
I am so happy with my organic porcelain charms! There are coral prints & sea urchin, in 4 colors. And I didn’t “Lose” any stuck to the shelf or chipped, etc. Many of them have 2 holes. I want to make earrings with dangle, and bracelet links…
Coffee is done. Headed to the studio. I’d love to hear what you think!
That’s excitement on a mega scale! Love the porcelain charms! Thanks for showing x
