OUT OF SEASON?

I threw a small group of covered serving bowls (CSB) last week, tooled them and then set them aside, well wrapped for over the weekend. First thing in the studio today, I unwrapped the CSBs and set about first carving the sgrafitto part of the design and then slip trailed the white dots to complete the snowberry designs on top and bottom and across the other pieces. I often wonder if there is a seasonal interest in certain types of design and decoration and I will assume as long as they are being ordered that they are not out of season. Once dry, into the bisque and then a thin clear glaze firing and that is all she wrote until the really fun task of packing them up and shipping them out. I guess I'll just live in the moment and remember that I like to throw and all the rest is just what it takes to get to that point.
