Vinny went for a romp in the snow while I stayed in and made some #earthenware bud vases. Now he's tired out and I'm ready for a walk.

Trying some #earthenware tiles. This local clay is so nice, I still find it hard to believe it was only ever used for bricks, not pottery or tiles or anything else.

Attention Canadian Potters....

Who will make me a French cassole? I'd really like to find a potter within a few hours of Toronto, but hell within Canada at this point would be great.

So on Monday I came in to another pile of rubble.

However, I took a breath and realised that these vases are a metaphor for my larger project.

So I picked up the rubble and made something new.

Sigh.

I doth despair.

Earthenware does not become me.

Twas a most awesome vase… once.

Had some fun today making this vase (currently upside down).

It started as a way to use up test coloured slip that wasn’t working and ended up looking like it was raised from the beach.

Tableau of 4 x 4 polychrome tiles. Each tile with ornaments of French lily in the corners and a flower in the centre. The 16 flowers, shown with stem and leaves, are all different: various tulips, fritillaria, and narcissi.

Egg anyone?

But seriously no. Don’t eat these. They will poison you.

Testing of 3 different Red ceramic stains in 2 different %’s.

I’m hoping I like the cheapest the best 🤞

Test cast is out. 🥳

No leaks, all performed wonderfully which means we can proceed with casing!

Just a little fettle tomorrow and I’m hoping I can fire on Wednesday.

In the 1881 census I've found the widow of a GG-uncle. She was a "red ware maker employing 5 men". Her husband's family business had come into her hands. What - exactly or inexactly - is red ware? Wikipedia gives international scope, but what did it mean in 19th C England? #genealogy #earthenware

Productive day!

Good mould finished - in to dry for a test cast before it goes to block moulding.

Glaze bomb test set up. Very excited to see if it works!

First press mould is out.

Metal infused casts out ready for temp testing.
