Getting ready for glazing...

Spent most of Saturday cleaning the new shelves and posts, prepping them for kiln wash.






Mixed the epk, glomax, alumina hydrate, and Darvan, and painted all the shelves. This morning, I came in to find the kiln wash had crackled like crazy, and most of it would fall off when I turned each shelf over! Sooooo... I scraped it all off and washed the shelves again. Now I'm powdering the wash to mix it up, and try to paint them again!

Something new

Got in about 30 minutes on the wheel before classes started this morning. Left them out on the shelf - directly across from the air conditioner, and they were ready to trim and decorate in about 2 hrs. I've used this tool before -





Just not quite like today.
I like the lines on this trio...
