Production Potter

I am going to be selling my pots at a local craft fair the first weekend of December, so I have increased production of my little soap dishes and now I have zillions to glaze. We will be firing a kiln load in two weeks in the gas kiln. I am hoping to get some pieces in. Fortunately, my little pots fit nicely between bigger pots and under the rims of bowls. That's one secret of getting pots into a firing, make them small and they take up space that would otherwise be wasted.

I also am working on some vases that combine handbuilt bodies and thrown tops. Once I get the method down, I want to work on making pitchers using the same basic technique.

I am thoroughly enjoying being in the pottery co-op--the other potters there are so helpful and so not threatened. It is heartening and amazing.
