It has been a rainy and overcast week here which started on
Monday with me firing a large group of bisque. With all this wind and rain it
has been hard keeping motivated to start the glazing process though the
temperatures are a bit cooler making it easier to work. I started out by making
up several glazes to top off my buckets and set about prep glazing and waxing
off feet, jar mouths and misc., by Thursday, I had everything glazed up and
ready to load in the kiln. Loading ended up being a bear as it was an
exceptionally tight fit in the bisque and now glazed, just as tight. I had
taken a photo of the bisque kiln prior to unloading and that helped piece the
puzzle back together and get everything that came out, back in again. Now that
all that is out of the way, of course the weather changes with beautiful blue
skies and a cool breeze moving in as I am firing the kiln. The firing should be
done by this early evening and hopefully by Saturday late afternoon, after
waiting somewhat patiently, I should know how things went. I simply have no
patience for patience.
In the meantime, here is some WIND & RAIN from one of my favorite Shakespeare film adaptations, TWELFTH NIGHT;
