having fun/testing glazes for a commission

my unfired bowl, freshly painted with underglaze

I was blessed with another visitor this weekend: Jessie (yes the inspirer of my most recent set of greeting cards)! We kept each other occupied with conversation as well as a few crafty projects. Tie-dying proved to be very successful and time will tell how our painted pots will fire. 

Three reasons for the paint-your-own-pot activity:

1. Nancy has LOADS of blanks in the studio from her past life of majolica.

2. I need to test the underglazes for an upcoming project: a commission to make free drink chips for my mom's bar in Des Moines.

3. It's fun!!
