My most recent firing was completely full and I was pleased to see that the temperature was even from top to bottom, with good clear glaze enhancing everybody’s work.

I’ll post photos of work by Renée Van Halm and Monique Fouquet first. Renée had asked for another large round platter so that’s the mainly green one. She also painted two of the new coupe plates, and finished by painting a small tile. That was a productive day!

Monique concentrated on applying subtle areas of colour, with mysterious shapes floating in them, on a large longer platter. And then she finished up her day by painting similar colours on a tile that was already painted yellow.
