Thursday - Throwing and Greg's glazing

Thursday I let my pot from Wednesday dry some while I threw some craggy crunch and watched Greg glaze some of the awards he was making for the Museum Mile race.

I tried to throw a really large pot and made a one-piece 14-inch cylinder only to crash it and make a small bottle from what was left on the wheel.  You're not pushing your boundaries if you don't crash a few pots.  I like to push things.

Sorry about the cylindar, but the remains of the day looks good. Greg is using the blown glass for a "clear" glaze?

Pots happen --or they don't. :8^)

Greg often adds some glass to his handles to give the glazes some movement and "juiciness". This time he had shards of hand blown glasses.
