Good day,
I am RonaId Morris, I saw your profile and I decided to contact you immediately. Can you get back to me on my email (ronmorri01@gmail.com) for full details.
Regards.
Hi Jan,
We haven't heard anything from you in a long while. I hope you are well, and just taking a break from the network. We miss you. Come back!
George
Here are two of the teapots I made using the SH glazes. One with the warm palette, the other with the cool.
Jan, r u on facebook or may I have your email to book places for the day & ask any questions.
Jan, Dave & I live on the mid north coast at Stuarts Point (1/2hr north of Kempsey), my sis in law lives on the Central Coast (Bateau Bay), where we originally came from too. All 3 of us went to the C.C. Potters Society for a term of lessons, bought our own wheels & the addiction continues to this day.
Hi Jan, if hubby & sis in law would like to come to your raku day at Oran Park, do they have to be members of this site also?
I did my first firing last week, a mad rush to get some teapots fired prior to a submission deadline for the newer edition of 500 Teapots. Who knows what the juror will think, but I photographed the two best ones. I glazed them without doing any test tiles prior, and they really turned out nicely. I used the Steven Hill recipes that he sent to me after I purchased his video..Anyway when I get home I will post the shots so you all can see the results. I am inspired now to try many more "non Steven Hill" glazes, something he encourages. Basically any cone 6 glaze sprayed over the Crystal Magic Warm and Cool glazes, and cooled according to the schedule, should produce interesting results.
