In the Meagan Chaney workshop I'm taking this weekend, we're working with earthenware clay. I was a little apprehensive about a new clay, but as I suspected, clay is clay. Here's a photo of the three pieces I made today. I'm in the middle of glazing them. The cutouts you see in the pieces are where I'll place the glass.
Here's a couple of quick shots of my two classmates from today. Today we made our clay forms and glazed them; Meagan will once fire these for us later in the week. Tomorrow we'll be learning about glass, slumping and attaching to the clay forms.
Somehow I neglected to get a photo of Meagan or her studio. I promise to get more photos tomorrow, so stay tuned. Oh and I unloaded the kiln last night and got some great and some promising results, so stay tuned for those too. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Oh that looks so fun! I missed out on workshops this summer.
