continuing to continue

we are now at 175 bisqued minis toward the Metropolitan Museum of Art's order of 300. There are another o.. 20 or so more drying. We'll do some more today. With a large order like this, we intersperse other orders to keep the ball rolling. Once we finish making the May/June orders, we'll start on making some more pots for the various retail shows coming up fast at the end of June.

Tree Peony

The Tree Peony is blooming now. Here's a photo of the bowl Cherie made of it.

Production

Steve is working on the Metropolitan Museum of Art order while Cherie is working on the Baltimore orders.



Might have a hundred of the 110 minis drying right now.

Wisteria

The Wisteria is blooming here. I don't think I've posted a photo of the pot I made of it.

Firing 4/8/10

This firing was just to fill the gaps left by the other two shows... mostly production with a few successful mustard yellow pieces. The glazes were good. We had a couple of thinly and thickly glazed pieces in the last firing. Don't like to talk too much about our mistakes though! It's just easier to fire a kiln load immediately after another so you can get feedback on your glazing.






We'll be leaving for the St. Paul show next week.

Firing 4/7/10

The forsythia is blooming here... I took this photo looking up to our ledge.

We fired a kiln load last night and are firing tonight too. We need to get a few pots out for
our showing at the ACC show in St. Paul, MN which is coming upon us quickly.
Here are a few photos:

The piece here to the left is a special order lamp base for Century Studios in St. Paul. They make beautiful stained glass pieces. You can see their work online at www.centurystudios.com

                                The piece to the right is another attempt of Steve to refine the Tesselated Pots series.

Met order

We got some good news to share..... The Metropolitan Museum of Art has chosen one of our pieces to put in their catalog. ... 300 of them.... like the blossoms on the apricot tree.....
