A beautiful cool morning with a few clouds. Coffee and english muffins with my good friend Nina Morrow (jeweler extraordinaire) in the back garden...
We have done many shows together including the Crested Butte Art Festival for the last 5 years, and Cherry Creek one epic July weekend. We look so forward to the CB show again this year and Beet Nics ( beet infused vodka ) at the cocktail cabin before and after the show! We just hope the weather holds again this year!
Regular students Suzanne Shakespeare (no relation) and her wife Kim showed up mid-morning to glaze the first batch of their test tiles. Two hours later we had half the kiln loaded and were anticipating some very good glaze info coming out of the kiln in a few days. We started with mixing our own colors....and moved on to glaze application..
Who knew that chemistry class in the 10th grade would eventually come in handy?!..
After mixing flint, flux, feldspar and talc together (and a few other things) this is the color palette we came up with;
Can't wait to see what the kitchen will look like with the new tiles!
