Clay Studio Open Tomorrow 11:00-2:00

I know that my last post said that the clay studio would be closed tomorrow (New Years Eve day).  However, I've been working on some projects and am not doing anything during the day . . . so I am going to come in and hold Open Studio during the regular Tuesday time (11:00 AM until 2:00 PM). 

I'd welcome the company if anyone wants to come in and join me!  :)

Holiday Hours

The clay open studio will be closed Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and New Year's Eve/New Year's Day.  However, I will be in town over the break, so if anyone wants to come in and work on Sundays, I will be there!

Clay Open Studio CLOSED 12/24 and 12/25

Clay Open Studio CLOSED 12/31 and 1/1

Clay Open Studio remains OPEN on Sundays during the holidays

Also, note that the Arts Center office is closed during some of this time (from 12/22 to 12/29) so if you have the monthly membership you won't be able to come in and work during that week (unless you come in with me on Sundays).

Bisque Fire Loaded

We loaded bisque last evening at class, including many of the Open Studio pieces. Because some of our pieces and a couple of the OS pieces were not yet bone-dry, Dan programmed this for a 5-segment slow ramp-up firing. Mindy can unload these at Sunday OS.

Glazes

We have three new glazes in the closet, one a cobalt (tile #9), one a copper (tile #13), and one a creamy beige (mistakenly labeled #19--more about this in a moment). These are based on Cindy Hart's G1214W base glaze + colorants.

Somehow tiles ended up with duplicate numbers, and the bucket presently labeled #19 was identified as a brown glaze. It is not. It is a creamy beige/tan glaze and should have been labeled #21. The photo here is of Nancy's bowl from the glaze firing unloaded yesterday. The light half is the (approximate) color of the glaze I'm describing; it seems a bit darker in this photo: 

Last night before leaving class, I put a temporary note on that bucket in case anyone will be glazing today. I'll go in to the studio this afternoon and properly re-label it. I'll also add colorants to the remaining bucket of G1214W base to make the brown glaze (#19):

Glaze Kiln Loaded 10/13/13

Hi all!  I loaded a Cone 6 kiln today at 5:00 PM.  The exciting thing is that I included test tiles (that Meredith and Susan made) for some of our new glazes!

I was able to fit everything in except for the four pieces below.

Meredith will probably unload it during Tuesday Open Studio in case anyone wants to come in and get their pieces!  Then she'll load a bisque.  (I'll probably stop in towards the end of Tuesday Open Studio to look at my stuff).

Ready-to-bisque Ware Needed

To repeat a note I put on our Facebook page: Our current class would like to load a bisque kiln next Tuesday. If you have greenware ready for firing, please put it on the bisque shelf. You'll probably have to search for space - our pieces are plates.

Start time for OS Weds. night

We will still meet at 6, I just wanted the title to catch people's eyes.

I have a monthly meeting just prior to OS that will come up again this week. If you get there and don't see me a few minutes before 6 please do not worry! I'll be there!

Most months I've been able to get there right at 6 - last month I was about 2 minutes late :(  but please hang on!
