An Afternoon at Work

Went to studio in the afternoon, did glazing all afternoon! The orange glaze on Flower Vase (the one with blue and white flower arond it) did not work out right, It is too thin so I have to reglaze it again and put it in a kiln. Then spend the rest of the afternoon glazing a spike vase! The piece is so big, it took me nearly 3 hours just to paint the body (lid not include). After I paint 2 layer of green glaze I then add the third layer of other colour to it, let them dry and clean all the spiky bit. I apply red glaze to all the spikes, two thick layer each spike! I was wondering at the time if the method I use is the right thing or not....painting glaze on a very big piece is taking so long but when I think of the finish look I will get , I think the method is ok. I am sure there will be a few more glaze painting for this giant spike vase at least two more he he.

I was planing to fire it to day but I could not complete the glazing process so it has to be fire tomorrow. I want to finish 3 more pieces by this coming Wednesday so I can photograph them on Friday or over the weekend. I really hope that I can do another firing tomorrow.
