Crystal glaze powerpoint

You can download my presentation from last semester Here

So it's time for a mini update

Yes, yes, it's that time again. I'm a bit (ok a lot) behind on the updating thing, but hey, I'm still alive so that's all that matters, right?

Here's something to wet your whistle while i prepare for a full update... 

This is a very small part of a major project that is being taken on my Ashley Bell.

More to come later!

Student show (no photos)

So I have two pieces from my last firing in the student show, one is the copper vase and the other is a teapot which I still need to photograph, also crystal glazed...

The powerppoint from my presentaion will be posted later today when I'm at my computer to upload it.

well hrm (no photos)

I didn't make my 0800 firing deadline, but i only missed it by about 30 min, so all it good... It's on it's way to an 8-10 hour up firing, then about 17-20 hrs of cooldown... I'll post the firing schedule and results as soon as i can get them out of the kiln and cleaned up...

it's time to wash the glaze out of my hair and hit the sack...
