infryqYesterday we went to open studio and inspected and paid for glazed work!
Always exciting. I had two bowls come out gorgeous in reds and browns, one
mug in reds and greens, and one mug with beautiful proportions but with
crazing on the inside. I need to test it for capillary nonsense with food
coloring before deciding what to do with it. P had three wee salt cellars
in temoku with red handles, two bowls in temoku, and a stunning colander in
oranges and white.
No new bisque firing, so we started invading the kids shelf with work to be
fired, since the bisque shelf has been packed full for weeks. I put on a
glove to protect my bum knuckle and threw three 3-lb bowls. I should make
myself a french curve rib for finishing the insides of bowls; I can never
find one that fits properly.
Home, lunch, and then I baked the rest of the Stayman-Winesaps (halved, in
muffin tins with a base+topping made from pulsing oats and almonds and
brown sugar to crumbs in a food processor, adding more oats for texture,
then enough oil to hold together) into basically instant pie. Crossword,
then I had my first chat with my Olin mentee (she’s a firstyear deciding on
internships) which was absolutely excellent. Then I stuffed all my winter
sweaters in mesh bags and into a laundry tub full of hot water and mild
detergent to soak. Dinner, code, sleep.
