life at Juniata comes to a halt. the classes are empty now (except for my adult class) and i have been prepping the studio for the summer. i also am about to fire a soda kiln comprised mostly of my latest work involving colored slips and brushwork. I'm scared. the amount of time I've placed in the decoration of these pieces makes firing them all at once a little like beating a dozen eggs with a baseball bat. I'm sure it will be fine but my optimism keeps me down so when things do turn out its like Christmas to a 5 year old. Here's more.

I feel the same way about my pots w/ dots. It takes a while to get the right consistency, trimmed, & finger prints wiped. Sometimes I think they take longer than my big pieces. It's super stressful to watch them fire!
i fired. they look pretty darn good. things to think about... used burritos instead of soda. images soon... for me its adding the finger prints and keeping everything fresh...
