Glaze firings in the lower mainland

As the summer draws to its end I’m trying to finish some more birds. The airport Crafthouse ordered another 8 medium so that’s always an incentive to get a kiln filled. Here are some drying in the lovely sunshine. Interesting news is that Keith RJ phoned to tell me that he and Celia liked the display in Circle Craft’s window and that he planned to finally get his salt kiln firing soon. So I popped over to their house yesterday with some of our Medalta slips for them to sample, and of course the couple of pots that didn’t get in to our last firing in MH. Took a few to refire too..  Wouldn’t it be marvellous if it is a fine firing on Saturday? Keith has a solo show opening next week at the Gallery of BC Ceramics. There’ll be some new sculptures.

My glaze firing here will end tomorrow morning and then I’ll be wanting to see how that other firing is going along. K and C used oodles of salt in their previous firing. Mmm…
