I made my 100th pot Monday night!
I have to make three more to replace three that didn't make it and I want to make about ten more as a cushion in case some don't come through the firing. It took me ten weeks, but I made it.
I threw these on Saturdayand trimmed them Monday night.

The scene of the crime.

and writing a big 100 in the bottom.
The shelf.
That old guy sure is happy.

Hurrah!! Congratulations, that was a great exercise, you must feel pretty good - now all that glazing to do.
Thanks! I do feel good, and too right about all the glazing.
Yes, that's the down side of making a lot of pots, glazing's the worst, I've got to go and do a load of that in a minute - will you try out different techniques, brushwork etc.?
I don't mind the glazing as much as I used to. I have come to accept it and anticipate it as a part of the process (it's all about the process).
I will use several different techniques since I have so much to learn as I go. I've been doing some glaze trailing of late and have been known to put some slip on top of the glaze. I do some pouring of different glazes and layers and I generally spray the shinos with some oxides as well.
I also have to glaze a pot for a raku firing on Wednesday. Work, work, work.
S'all good.
Yea John. Way to go! Look forward to seeing you tonight.
Ron-
Thanks!
YAY!!!! I am so impressed. Congratulations! Y'know...you wouldn't have to glaze all 100 if you wanted to add a few to the next barrel firing. ;)
Oops. Forgot to switch out google accounts. See ya tonight!!!
