Raku Remnants

 

 

Steve has been out in the kiln yard again with his keen photographers' eye. These are two pictures of what he found discarded and forgotten. Now we see the beauty of what is left behind after the firing is over.

 

 

Cool stuff, Maynard!

Any guesses on what these are?

Flying Snow Saucers!

There are many uses for snow saucers. In my youth, they were best used for cheap thrills down a snowy Wisconsin hill......



GERONIMO!!!!

                            

These days our snow saucers have a kinder, gentler purpose with only higher art creations in mind. Yes, when the snow starts falling in Aurora it's time to make platters...in a BIG way!!!

 

Center your saucer on a ring of clay

Add your "floor thrown" slab of clay and start shaping
 

We're getting there
 

Trim it up
 

Add a little slip for personality

Now we wait to remove and do more trimming. Tune in next week for the next exciting episode.....
