- I nearly didn't record this as there were so few pieces fired, but I'm glad I did in the end.
Trying out some little pieces for a craft fayre for young children I'm attending, and wanted to see which glazes worked best before I glazed the entire set. Also a couple of experimental pieces I was keen to see how they turned out.
I love trying something new, and also don't mind when they don't turn out as I'd hoped as that is when I learn so much more and enjoy the highs even more.
Big change in my personal circumstances recently as I am now fully retired and anticipate being able to have considerable more time in the studio. Still deciding how I want to spend that time, but for now just enjoying the multiple options and the freedom of time to make that decision.
Happy days!!!!
Thanks as always for your support and encouragement. The last 18 months have been pretty challenging for me personally and not have much time or mental headspace to post much content, but hopefully this will change now going forwards. Excited for what the future months will bring :)

Thanks Michele, great to test out before running the full batch through a glazing session. I did feel naughty firing such a small kiln load though lol

Thanks, looking forwards to glazing the full set of cress heads now, given me better ideas of which glazes to use. Excited for retirement plans!

Awe, those little animal pots are adorable!
Thankyou, can't wait to glaze the rest of them now ;)
Hi Jeanette, love everything. Fridge magnets are cute and love the little cress heads. Kids will love those. Wow the S&C planter is stunning. 🤩 Congrats on your retirement 🎉
Thankyou! I do love how the stroke and coat planter turned out. Enjoying the flexibility retirement is bringing although I've no idea where all the time is disappearing to lol ;)
Love the pastel shades on the mug!
Thanks, I was surprised how much I liked the pastel too. So used to vibrant colours, it's nice to see something more delicate ❤
Hey Jeanette oh those magnets r super cute!! The cress heads r cute I can see them w their green heads kids will love those! That stroke n coat planter is stunning! That ribbed shape would make a great mug! Ohhh jealous of yr retirement congrats!! Nat xx
Thanks Nat, always love a test kiln opening, you never know what you're going to get do you. Retirement feels pretty awesome to be honest just finding my self busier than ever lol! Xxx
I must have missed this one Jeanette, what gorgeous little kittens and magnets so cute. Shame about your handle😢 the last pot is stunning, def a shame to put something inside of it😊❤❤
Lol, easy to miss, it was pretty short and sweet! Gutted about the handle crack but it wasn't my usually application technique so lesson learnt, but its currently making a nice paintbrush holder in the studio 😀
Such great pieces! Can you share what color S&C the oranges you used are? I am looking for a bright orange like the one I saw on your pieces. kind of an orange yellow color.
Hi ,sorry for delay in replying, don't know how I missed this comment. The best orange I use is Mayco Stroke and Coat Tutu Tango. I have the speckled variety. It's a georgous orange and made softer shade when applied with some honey flux.
