Demos, demos, demos...

After seeing my finished pieces I had to get busy and wedge up some clay for demos.  The students have never watched as someone sat at the wheel and created a piece.  So I did several pieces for each of the 5 classes.  Below is a photo summary of the results... luckily, I didn't lose a single piece!

Now to see what glazes I can play with for these!

Two sets of Keepers!

Emptied the test kiln this morning, and was VERY pleasantly surprised!  I think you will be too.

First is the set of three yunomi, done in a root-beer float glaze, with a band of electric blue mahjolica in the top crease.

Next is a set with a guinomi, a yunomi, and a chawan, all done with a cool white interior and upper band, with the outside done in wintergreen glaze.  I love the way the clay shows through on these three pieces.

Comments?  Critiques?  Both are more than welcome!
