Barrel Firing # 7 - The Next Day...

Saturday, January 10, 2009 we returned to the studio to check on the results of BF#7. The usual (read: hardcore) crew showed up for the retrieval. I arrived late and thought the barrel would be empty already but apparently I was right on time.

I think there were a few standouts, but the general consensus was bit of a yawn. Several people said they were going to re-bisque their pieces and try them again. At least we had fun during the firing.

After the unloading and the yawning were finished some of us headed inside to make some pots.

From barrel-diving to dumpster-diving, Becky is very versatile.

Cool, eh?

My latest orangestone pot.

Don't you just love candid photography?

Said licorice pigs.
Yum.

All in all, a good Saturday afternoon.
