Dimpled Teapot



I have been playing with dimples lately. Nothing untoward, just small impressions in the side of a piece. Here you can see them on a teapot I made yesterday. I'm hoping that the dimple will add some extra intrigue to a piece that is glazed in a solid color. Just a little extra touch I guess...

I hope everyone is well!

Slán,

I Can Haz Pikels?

Andrea has been teasing me with pickles. Apparently I can’t have any of the pickles on the counter for two more days. But they’re sitting there taunting me, daring me to taste them. Damn them both!



Good news however is that I was able to borrow some space in a friend’s kiln. I fired a dozen or so yarn bowls and plenty of the Gaeilge mugs too. I was so excited I’ve already finished glazing them. Now I just need to refire them up to stoneware temps and I’m back in business!



In just over a month I’ll have full access to the kilns again and I can fire all my stuff that’s just sitting around. It’s good timing too because I just broke another piece moving it around.
