Ashes...

Last weekend, I tried to make some small sculptures...

And, failed...

The clay was wet, and all of them collapsed...

Yesterday, I used a heat gun in the damp shed...

And, they're on board for January's gallery show...

Child Labor Holiday Sweat Shop

Today we glazed our 60 cups and saucers...

Each student made two cups and saucers...

We will sell one, and they will keep the other...

We have a lot of glazing to do, and then clear glazing...

We've had great, creative parent helpers...

We listened to vintage holiday music while we glazed...

Students followed their glaze plans, and freestyled...

We only used about a hundred brushes...

We'll apply third coats next week...

Goat Hill Fair Redux

Junkin' at the Goat Hill Fair...

Met a lot of vintage friends...

A panda headband from China...

Old colors are the best colors...

Never seen religious paint by number before...

Reminds me of Caul Arthur...

There were a lot of faux antiques this year...

The ribbon lady still has the goods... 

Picked up this naive painting of a man... 

Found this awesome, colorful abacus... 

Picked up this bust by a ceramic artist from the past...

Holiday Faire Mugs, Tumblers, and Cups

Students made some cups...

They are ready to dry out for the first firing...

Meanwhile, I decided to make some cups...

I made some holly tumblers, and some cups...

And, I made some ice cream cones for a show...

My class celebrated All Saints Day...
