cups, milk jugs and sugar bowls

and their done, I had a good 1/2 day in the studio a bit of a tidy up repacking work for market trip this month. The cups, milk jugs and sugar bowls are all thrown now, the teapots are finished there's just the drying out to watch this week to get firings through for our opening at the club on 3rd august, that should work out ok 3 working weeks. I've decide to try spray slipping these pieces from today in the body the teapots are made from to get the creamy finish instead of the white body TMK i used today and hopefully i'll get a close glaze colour response.  That the 'mudster' having a mad second in vid clip..

lyndoch's a happenin

I've just got home from the barrossa run, its windy man...I grabbed a couple of shots the gallery is looking nice smelling v. fresh... Sarah is just getting works in this week so the anticipation is growing, I met a couple of other artists catching their first glimpse of the space too, it sounds like everything is coming together nicely with the opening being August 1st, the first day of SALA.

yada yada

A long day today more of finishing the teapots today with handles on both ends, curly lid handles and a little hand draw line work, I'll get some pics later this week also working on the mugs and cups, I hope to get on with those on friday.. Tomorrow is a trip to the new gallery in the Barossa to drop off some pieces in between work..and a shot of my fav. copper red, I can't really post without pics, just not cricket really....

These snaps are courtesy of my nieces who did a contiki tour earlier this year, the house is our old place in sedgley, we moved out to australia when I was 6, it looks the same apart from the front window, my cousin looked after them and gave them a local tour, that followed by a nice trip to europe i think they had fun!!

one down

unloaded today a good bisque, so thats one down and about three more to go to get everything ready for august...

scrounging for clay

I wish I had more time and more clay, the stocks are empty and I'm rumaging around for my fav blend. I just realized today I probably underestimated time wise for 3 shows in August, just going to squeeze it all in somehow.

Today was making the rest of teapot parts to put together on saturday, made some cups and lids and this is as close as i got to taking pics....sketches again.
