I was back to glazing this week to finish up those flower pots and the mug for my friend. Since I handed in the flower pot with the carved salamander late, it was not bisqued in time for glazing this week so I will do it the next time I have a batch! I experimented with some new colour combinations this week that I am very excited about. I find the blues and greens meld together beautifully in the kiln, resulting in almost a melted look. Whenever I glaze a piece, I write it down in a little book I have so I can track which combinations I like and which I do not like.

This Monday, I am going to have my last throwing day before the end of term. I am hoping to throw my large bowl for Goal 2, and try making a sugar bowl for Goal 3! Matching lids to containers is really tricky so this will be great practice while putting me out of my comfort zone .
