Wrapping things up...
Here are just a few pictures of the pottery a week before we start loading the new kiln. Joseph is wrapping up his teapot rampage with some whoppers. Mark made large 9lb jars and pitchers yesterday and I had a good day with some straight sided medievalesque pitchers which should be the last of the wet clay I touch until we fire the glaze kiln. I handled them all this morning and then unloaded the bisque before cutting away at 5 to go enjoy this bizarrely balmy weather we've been experiencing in the Piedmont. Below is a small casualty from the bisque with a simple but new to me scrolling design.

I like the medieval looking pitchers. What are the pots that yall bisque? Teapots and things you might risk breaking if you lined green?
Brad, we bisque pots for a few different glazes that for whatever reason dont like to go on leather hard. Sometimes they will also bisque larger thin jars if they are to placed next to the firebox.
Too bad about the cracked pot, I like the swirly design.
You've created a wonderful diary of your experience. I'm really enjoying finding time to read it as it develops.
Zygote and Linda: Welcome aboard! Im glad you enjoy the posts. Sometimes it seems like it might get boring just reading about all the "drudgery" (as Mark puts it) associated with working in this type of workshop but I'm glad you are finding things worth looking at.
