Workshop Update

Slowly but surely… I am getting there with my latest batch of work. I have really enjoyed creating some new style pieces and can’t wait to see the results from the glaze firing. The only thing is, I seem to have produced so much new work that I’m not sure everything will fit into the kiln – it’s going to be a tight squeeze!

When I first got my new kiln at the start of 2012, I thought it would be a challenge to fill it every time as I was previously only used to a very small chamber kiln. But now, my new kiln isn’t quite big enough!

What I love most about my glazing process is the fact that the colours always look so different when fired. It’s nice to see the contrasting comparison of before and after.

There has been a production line of clay houses in the workshop for quite some time now, so I am pleased to say that they are finally finished. It has been fun creating these quirky cottages full of character. I can’t wait to photograph them with tea light candles inside.

A few custom orders will be going in the kiln this week, including a couple of personalised heart plaques, a decorative plate, impressed baby hand and footprints, and even a plaque with some doggy paw prints impressed!

If you have been waiting for your custom order, thank you so much for your patience. Not much longer to wait now 🙂

It won’t be long now until I will be setting up my brand new studio in the garage when I move house. Although I love my shed in the garden, it will be so much nicer to be able to spread out more comfortably in a bigger space. Moving my kiln is going to be a mission, but I’m ready for it!
