Today I took advantage of the sunshine and our long deck railings to wash up some bisque and help the waxed feet, rims and designs dry. These pieces will be glazed over the next week to be fired in the first firing of the wood kiln built last summer. Flashing slip will be applied to some and then all will be glazed and packed to take to the farm for the firing. They look kind of boring right now, but soon they’ll be sporting coats of shino, tenmoku and celadon soon.
