Fresh out of the kiln.

You might remember I loaded this kiln last weekend

Here is the grand opening... 

The stand out items from this firing would have to be

Renae's jugs.

I love the dark clay.

She says it was awful to throw

and has vowed to never attempt it again.

I looks like pressed sand to me, great colour...but

I can imagine there is little plasticity, much like Raku clay.

I got a variety of colour on my handless mugs.

There is a pearl like blue tinge to this rim.

The more I make of these mugs, the better they are at stacking up.

I am going to take these over to Wentworth, "Ruby's cargo"

A shop that celebrates hand made.

Renae has been busy being very creative with these tall pots.

I wonder how she will glaze them?

I have negotiated with the service station at the end of our street to

sell my flowers.

Only one bunch sold in the first week.

I think they look fine there in the door way.

Lets hope the idea takes off.

I have to keep trying to raise a wage.

Fingers crossed!
