Volcano, Hawaii
Finally got a sunny, windy day perfect for drying pottery. Trimmed all the dinner plates and attached the bases to the Ikebana vases. Now only thing left to do is trim the feet on the serving platters when they are dry and pray for continued dry weather.
Finished assembling 3 more slab ikebana vases (16″ x 5″ x 5″ height) for the gallery/showroom in Hilo order. Started trimming wheel-thrown dinner plates but wet weather again left the plates too wet to trim effectively so I decided to throw 4 platters for the order using 6# Bmix clay each.
Rainy day. Managed to assemble only 1 Ikebana Vase for gallery/showroom order in Hilo. Used Death Valley clay, dimensions = 16″ long x 5″ tall x 5″ deep.
Finished molding the rest of the slab plates and rolled out slabs for 4 custom Ikebana vases for the gallery/showroom order in Hilo (finished size = 14″ wide, x 4″ tall x 4″ deep) using B-mix clay (2) and Death Valley clay (2).
Started molding slab plates but wet weather preventing completing all of the plates. Will continue tomorrow.
