C R A C K E D AND CONGEALED...

this week in the studio:

ok so apparently when you stack mugs on top of coasters in the bisque kiln the coasters do not like this. then they get hair line cracks. then 12 sets of coasters become 5 sets and lots of test tiles. you know what that means...more $1 tiles for sale at the next open studio.

also since my studio is slightly brisk in the winter my wax resist is turning into a brick. today at trusty drugmart i invested an $11 mini crockpot to melt this brick. i get to try it out tomorrow. then hopefully i can move forward and get some glazing done this weekend.

i really want to try some new glaze combos and buy new glazes. alas, i am going to ny in april so i'm saving funding for that trip. going to work with what i have and try to come up with some new ideas.
