Charleston trip pictures

Just as few pictures of this weekend to Charleston.

Univ of Charleston

Bethel UMC window abstractions

A few new fired pieces

A new cup, a blend of clays and home clays roughly blended and matt white glaze inside thinly applied and applied and wiped off on the outside. And a platter with applied imprint of Palm Sunday's palm with applied white and brown glaze partly wiped off over a blue green glaze in the imprint.

Weekend clay and burnishing

Home clay and a mix with a commercial  brown worked well this weekend on a 12" bowl that is drying now reading for fire. Made some plaques with a brown clay base and added 3 home clay thick slips for color sculpting.

And a tall thin vase waiting for glaze.

and a plaques in progress.

Just don't pass them by in the spring

Magnolias are just too powerful to not photograph them, to try to capture them for the minute. They last such a short time.

Some new cups today

Got some cups back from cone 6 firing I had made (see May 2nd) The home clay fires a nice rich red from a weak yellow biege clay out of the ground.  The inside and lip is a rich dark coffee gloss glaze.

And to put these in context with some of my recent home clay mixes, see the cups in the upper left:
