Raku Firing

Hey , today looks fine, no rain at the moment, so I'm going to do a Raku firing. i glazed the pieces up last night. so should be nice and dry ready for the off. i have to repair the top of the kiln though first as the fibre has come away.well the firing didn't go to bad! had a couple of good results, but because the gas cylinder was low didn't seem to get the heat and pressure. i needed more sawdust to! so some items will have to be fired again

I delivered my piece of work to 53degrees exhibition at the new schoolhouse Gallery York on Monday, and the private view in on Saturday afternoon.It should be  a very good show, its open to the public from Tuesday the 2nd of august  for six weeks so go closed on Sunday's and Monday's. So if your in the area pop in and have a look, as York is a beautiful city as well.

53 Degrees at York

Well I've been excepted at the Old School House Gallery in York, for the 53Degrees north exhibition! I graduated on Friday as well, so a good week in all. I'm pleased my work is finally getting noticed! I must just push it forward more and get more response good or bad! I'm going to do my MA so bring it on!
