Cauldrons or big bowls

There it is on the header this week...

A potter friend said the exterior looked like wood, and the interior like water.  So that' it's name, wood and water!

The interior is white satin mixed with Bermuda Green mason stain, and the exterior is amber glaze.

The legs are pretty sturdy but the glaze cracked on the inner edges of each leg, so this will reduce the price, after I add some nice firm glue to make sure the legs stay on.

And here is cauldron number one...finally located photos of it!  All the colors are done with Mayco Stroke & Coat glazes.

Pottery and pizza and Craft Market!

 A couple of days ago I shared a medium size bowl with this glaze pattern.  Bermuda Green mason stain in Satin White glaze, drizzles of plum around it.

These are great yogurt bowls...or nuts, or something for dipping... deep and small!
They were going to be at the Owen Middle School Craft Market today!  But the snowy weather had other ideas, so I've kept myself at home.

Snow may be on the ground, but streets will probably be ok, if you don't live up on Mt. Mitchell!

One of my favorite pizza places, Pepperoni Pizza...there are some great pizzas in this town! I like the prices here.

Cheerful Sunflowers on turquoise

I recently went wild with sunflowers.  This batch are the yellow variety, and I glazed them (as usual) with Mayco's Stroke & Coat glazes (cone 5-6).

Tiny vase, somewhat askew.

Tiny bowl in front (sauce size) and little vase behind

 Toothpick holder size in front, little cup behind (and below)

The background is an interesting mix that I'm pretty happy about.

I used our studio satin white basic glaze, about a gallon, then mixed in a mason stain called Bermuda Green (from Highwater Clay).  I used about half the packet...no idea how many grams.  And since I was using the mixed wet white glaze, this is about as "seat-of-the-pants" as you can get with glaze formulas!

I paint the lines first (Designer Liner)  then the color inlay, then paint wax over these then dip into the background glaze.

But I've done this mix about 3 times now, and don't use it that often, so it seems pretty stable.
For now anyway!
