We had a great time glazing our pottery pieces that we made on Sept. 26 at the Rock Island Trading Post in Rosebud, Mo.. It was interesting to see how the pieces had changed after John fired them. The edges of my decorative dish shrunk down quite a bit, and Kathy S.'s pie plate's edges also shrunk down. She made a pretty bowl, too.
Doris also made a decorative dish, and hers has feet on the bottom of it. RhonnaLeigh made a beautiful butter dish with a butterfly on top, and Debbie made a beautiful bowl on the wheel and also a spoon rest. We used our extra clay to make small ornamental pieces for decorations. Doris is using hers for the baskets she makes.
Here's Doris glazing her pieces, and to her right is Debbie's bowl and spoon rest. Doris was working on small pieces for her baskets.
Debbie is glazing her pieces a beautiful red color to match her kitchen. RhonnaLeigh also glazed her butterfly butter dish in a beautiful red color, and she was working on some small pieces while Kathy S. was talking to her.
Here's RhonnaLeigh's beautiful butterfly butter dish.
Doris and I glazed our decorative dishes in mint green, which is a translucent color, with teal on the rim. We chose a lighter translucent color so the leaves we stamped in the clay will show through.
It will be really interesting to see the pieces after John does the final firing. We had a lot of fun glazing our small decorative pieces. I'm using mine for Christmas ornaments.
We've really enjoyed making the pottery together as a group and can't wait to see the finished pieces. Debbie is bringing clay home to make more pieces for gifts.
