Finally, after a cycle of almost 2 years of learning the clay I recently finished my first batch of work. It is an amazing feeling to see one's work complete a life cycle and be born!
Working with clay hard work and takes long time specially when you do not do this full time. Over the last two years I learnt the techniques, attended some workshops, worked many weekends, wasted some good work, almost had some great pieces that were broken...
In Jan 11, I finally got all that I had done over last two years together and booked my time at Anandgram kilns! Arun Mukhuty at Anandgram - in charge, teacher and a very good and helpful friend at Anandgram helped me schedule the firings, plan glazing, helped glaze and the finally carried out the glaze fining. This was a cone 8 firing.
The glazes used were copper red, black, blue and dolowhite. I took first set of photographs over the weekend and posting below.
Over the next few weekends I will get some better pictures and post.
