Well, after about 5 years of taking a break I have decided it is time to go back to Potting. I have thrown some pots over the last 5 years but not enough to really get back into the swing of things. The only way to really get started again was to take some classes, and that is what I have done for the last 3 months or so. I am lucky to have a wheel upstairs in our "Art Room", unfortunately I don't have a kiln. It took a little to get comfortable again and I am learning new things which is awesome. I have only been able to fire in a very hot kiln and therefore my colors aren't really bright. I have a bunch of glazes in very cool bright colors that were given to me, however, the color seems to burn out in the hot kiln and I get a different color...one that is not so bright. I have however, found someone with a low/med fire kiln that I plan on using....so bright springy colors here I come!
I would love to find a kiln myself and have a little more control over the colors I use but I am happy right now just to practice and learn a little more.
