Raku...again!

Well these past few weeks have been busy to say the least!
This week has been the final week of the Grays short courses and traditionally, the foundation class gets a wee Raku taster before Christmas. Due to the workshop being so busy, unfortunately none of their work to date has been glaze fired so they were looking forward to taking a piece home at last!
Wednesday evening was perfect for Raku; crispy cold, no wind and dark....



All set up and ready to go.... Lets hope there's enough gas left.



Ladies warming up by the kiln



Not long to go now.

Teacosy Success!

Good news last week came from Smart Consultants as I have been accepted into Teacosy for 2012!
Sad news is that this will be the last in its current form, it goes to show if you have great innovative ideas, they will be popular and imitated throughout.........
Teacosy will be in the Cowdray Hall again this year with the opening and exclusive preview on the Friday evening with the full day trading on Saturday.
I've been very busy with the short courses this week so stay tuned for photos of our raku firing and recent work....
