G is for gannets G is for Glazing



The square plates with gannets were slipped and scored and are now drying out slowly so that they don't warp, though it's been so wet recently there isn't much chance of them drying too fast or unevenly.


Meanwhile the gannet candle holders are slipped and are now bisc fired.


It's amazing just how much the kiln holds when crammed full of the smaller pots. (As oppose to one seat or long dishes).


It was a wet and windy weekend so perfect for battening down the hatches and having a mega glaze session.


Even if it did go on for ever - but with some good music and recordings to listen to, it was dipping, wiping and sometimes even singing along. The glaze kiln was eventually packed and switched on a bit later than hoped, but I got there.

It's still firing -  must go and check those cones!
