Back from workshop

I'm just returning to normal after a great workshop at the Jacksonville center in Floyd, VA. I had three students that were eager to learn how to spray glazes. The first day we glazed pots and my truck. Things were pretty chaotic, but we got everything done and loaded. The next day we fired the kiln. This was my first time firing this kiln so it takes awhile to get use to it. It fired unevenly and left everyone nervous and anxious to see if it turned out OK. It ended up being just fine. A couple of pieces stuck to the shelves, but overall everyone was happy.

What the heck is going on?

Hot out of the kiln

I have been helping with governor's school summer camp where I teach, so it's been busy. I was able to sneek a few pieces in the kiln during the camp. I'm super excited about my upcoming workshop, good times.

Workshop

This is the last week to sign up for my spraying glaze workshop. It should be a good time. Head over to the Jacksonville center's site and sign up. http://www.jacksonvillecenter.org/. In other news the art auction went well this weekend. Most of the pieces met their reserves or exceeded it. Doing a kiln firing tomorrow so I'll have a few new things to share.
