keep the pace steady.....

extruder fun!! finally got a demo on the mysterious pneumatic extruder, so decided to play around with a 5" tube die. also pulled handles for the first time ever! not a bad beginning, but hoping to get better at it....



meow....here are some engobe tests. they work with the thermal screens, which is very exciting. i may be facing a limited color palette, since i will not be using any mason stains. i think it will be a fun challenge.





drying....drying....drying....ended up handbuilding the spouts, and doing a double spout instead of stirrup. has been pointed out to me that it isn't actually functional, as it can only be filled halfway. i think i am ok with that, but if i can have aesthetics and function next time, i'll try.
