Gala Collaboratives out of the kiln

Here is the pair of 16" vases that came out of Ben Owen's kiln yesterday. Donna Craven threw these bottles and Samantha glazed them.

The crystalline piece below came out this past Tuesday. Bruce threw the 24" bottle and Will glazed it.

Found a kiln for Donna's and Samantha'a Collaborative

We found a kiln to put our collaborative vase pair into (Donna's thrown vases and Dotty Sam's glaze combo). Ben Owens is loading a reduction kiln today and said he had room along with his 20" vases. YEAH!!! What a relief. Bruce loaded them in the car and drove them right on over to Ben's place.

I wonder how Will's and Fred's glaze work collaborative is coming along?

To see more collaborative pieces you can visit the Celebration of Seagrove Potters website.

Up Until the Last Minute.... Donna, Fred, Samantha, and Bruce

Samantha Henneke and Donna Craven

Bruce took some of our clay over to Donna's last week and she threw these two beautiful vases for Samantha to decorate. Below Dotty Sam is busy finishing up one of the vases. The other one Bruce brushed on red slip and then Dotty Sam will put a glaze dot decoration on it. Hopefully we will find a kiln to put these in. This collaboration is a wait and see.

Here is Bruce with a flask he has made for Fred Johnston to work his mojo on.
Bruce took the flask over to Fred's a few days ago. Below is Fred Johnston in his studio.
And today Will dropped by to pick up the piece that Bruce threw for him to crystalline glaze. We will find out in a couple of days how that piece comes out.
