Fall

I've not had much to say this fall because I've not been able to work in the studio much at all. I'm finally on Christmas break from EOU and I'm back on the horse. Threw a few mugs today and have resolved to design a new mug form since I'm not impressed with anything I've made today. I pulled out the sodium silicate to make some crackle slip mugs. I did a few and had some fun, but I my slip was a bit thin so I couldn't get a nice brush mark out of my coarse hair brushes. The crackle is only slightly interesting and isn't at all what I was looking for. I resigned to make one more mug with just brush marks and no crackle. Tomorrow I'll make and assemble a mug. I'll post a picture if something of note comes from my effort.
