Last night I dropped off 3 pieces at Xiem. I misread the firing space I’m allotted each class term and was SUPER happy that I’m actually given more space. This makes life a bit easier. I plan to have the larger and heavier pieces fired at Xiem and the smaller and much lighter pieces fired at Echo. I don’t think I will have anything fired at Berman since it’s just too dang expensive for my poor bum.
A lot of work a head of me this week. The 3 pieces thrown last week at Xiem need to be trimmed tonight along with the 11 “Geo Orbs” and my large bowl. It’s stuck to the dame bat. I hope it will pop off tonight so I can trim it. I might throw today, not sure yet. Will have to see how much trimming I get done. Trying to get there early today. Gotta feed the animals and make sure they are happy before I go though. It’s been hot and my place gets so freaking hot in the afternoon. It was already hot when I went to pick something up around 10 so I left the air unit on.
So after finishing up some pieces, Jim was doing a demo on closed vessels and turning them into lidded vessels. He showed up a neat trick of using a chopstick to indent and mark your lid. My first one I wasn’t able to close the vessel well and ended up with a little dip at the top. I ended up liking it so I made a 5 piece mini series of them. I am thinking of using glass to fill the little dip. Again I forgot to take a pic but I do have pics of pieces that I dropped off last night. Will have to post those later
