It was exciting to see the pinch pots and other unique things you made out of the clay I gave you in this Art to Go project!

The first round of work has been bisque fired (to around 1700 degrees F) which makes it strong but not completely vitrified (when it is completely vitrified it should hold water). Just as I was getting ready to do the bisque firing my kiln malfunctioned so I asked the very generous potter Bob Chaundy if he could fire the work for me. I also had some work of my own to fire for a wood firing a couple of days later. Bob saved the day!

Your work is ready for the next step! I can offer you two options. 1) you can take it home and paint it with regular paints 2) I can give you some color options, apply the glaze, and fire it for you again in my electric kiln. If these were not unusual times I would have you glaze your own work (since you are the artist!) but given the way things are I think it would be best if I did this. You might know already that glazing is a bit unpredictable - it does not always match the idea you have in your head but sometimes it does, and there are some nice surprises too! It will take me a while to have enough work to fill my kiln and fire it. Send me an email at msepots@gmail.com and let me know what you would like to do with your work. Thanks!
