I have done two bisque firings in the past week (even though the vent isn't installed yet), the horse took up the entire kiln for one firing. In this picture you can see the seam where the head comes off for firing. I haven't had much time for the studio lately, and when I am in there I have been trying to clean up the space. In this pic you can see the bin behind the horse (its full of finished pieces) and boxes (ditto, some going back to grad school). So little by little I am transferring the work out of cardboard boxes, into platic bins, and toting the darned things down to the basement. I hate having to play musical bats every time I want to work on something, so its neccessary. Arg. My test tiles for a neighbors kitchen project came out chartreuse instead of taupe. You would think that when a mason stain says taupe it would be taupe, not vividly and acidly GREEN, but c'est la ceramique. Pictures of the tiles will come along later, I rather like the crackle slip textrure, if not the green glaze.
Now the big decision, how to glaze the horse.
