Studio Update! March 24, 2017

Haven't posted pics for awhile so here are pics of some pieces in progress.

First up, a big fox that didn't make it into the last firing, as well as a bunch of figurines



Next a large figurine we nicknamed "Peace Pig" for the peace sign tattooed on its haunch.  The other haunch has a relief carved flower on it.



Next is a moose sculpture






A raccoon bowl, sheep sculpture and fox sculpture


Elephant bowl and figurine, with lucky upwards pointing trunks,  and a rabbit bowl with a relief carved sun on its haunch



Another shot of that rabbit bowl:


That's it for now.  I'm on this kick of putting more time into my larger piecesI've also decided that from now on to only fire my kiln when it's full as possible, to maximize resource efficiency.  Where the kiln shed is unheated, firing in cold weather would be hard on the elements anyhow.  There will soon be lots of glazing to do, so it'll still be a few weeks at least before the next firing but I'm very much looking forward to this coming tourist season!  Tourists, the Canadian dollar is on sale and visitors from all countries are welcome here!
