Yesterday I was showing a friend some of my pottery and a platter slipped down and knocked these two pieces off the shelf. At least I have photographs of them. Which is a good reason to take photos right after items come out of the kiln.
Although with barrel fired pieces, they have to be cleaned and then waxed before they're complete. I'll have to do another barrel firing to replace my examples. Which means I better get busy making a few pieces to fire. Back to work.
Oh, I'm so sorry this happened, they are really beautiful pieces, you got some great color. Breaking pieces stinks.
ReplyDeleteThey are very beauty pieces. Is this pitfiring?
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, I wasn't too upset as I have a few others.
ReplyDeleteHi Woytek, thanks, this is barrel firing, similar to pit but done in a 55 gallon metal drum. Do a search on my blog on the top search bar and you can see the process I use for my barrel firings.
ReplyDeleteYou are smart to take pictures. Your type of art is such a fragile thing. What a bummer.
ReplyDeleteOh I am sorry to hear that. Oh well, get cracking and make some more masterpieces!
