Thanks for checking in. I went to the local Conservatory yesterday here in Saint Paul, called the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. Here are a few pictures I had taken:
And a nice variegated orchid, not sure on the species...
I loaded another Bisque load last night, which will fire for 12 hours. I have found that a slower bisque is best for me and my clay. I used to fire to cone 05 in about 8 hours, and sometimes a few pieces would crack because the water didn't have a chance to escape. It's a common misconception that pottery breaks due to air bubbles not being liberated.I'm planning a pottery sale again soon, likely either next weekend or the following - I haven't decided. Lots of work in progress, most of which are pictured in earlier posts. There will be about 150 pieces at the next sale, plus it will be indoors with a few candies, finger foods, and beverages. I hope you will be able to join me. Have a nice rest of the weekend; I'm planning to update again tomorrow night.
