Glazing in the Pottery Studio

     During the past 2 weeks we have steadily worked towards finishing our newest body of pottery. It is always exciting to reach the end of a studio cycle and have a body of work completed and ready to load into our kiln. This part of the process can be filled with some anxiety until we un-brick the kiln door and pull the pots out of the kiln. Even after years of firing experience things can happen to mess something up. Whether it has something to do with the actual firing or with something that we did while glazing. It is all part of the ceramic process and it is the variability that keeps our art practice interesting and stimulating. 

     The Celebration of Seagrove Potters is this weekend, November 19 and 20, 2022 in Seagrove, North Carolina. There will be 20 Seagrove Potters set up in the new space at the Historic Lucks Cannery and 29 Seagrove Potters participating in the Celebration Studio Tour. An information booth will be set up at the main Celebration Event location to answer questions and hand out maps. There will also be Food Trucks set up during the day here for everyone. To find out more information check out the Discover Seagrove website.
