Learning and growing!

The last two years have been a whirlwind of change.  I started my first pottery lesson 2 years ago in the fall 2014, opened my store/studio, the spring of 2015.  Yesterday I had to apply for a GST # because my sales were very close to the limit, crazy!!!
So I have been using the square for taking credit card payments for the past year and I just found out that you can build a square store for free, that's right free, how did I not know this! Another great bonus is it will keep track of my inventory, woohoo, that will save me lots of hours.
here is a link to my store

Here are some more glaze tests:

I love love these mugs, 2x of Oatmeal, 2x of Seaweed 3/4 down and 2x of Ancient Jasper on rim.

This, no clue, I thought I would remember but nope!
I need to write down everything.  I do know there was 2 base coats of Oatmeal, I think Textured Amber brown on the bottom, then chun plum, Arctic blue, seaweed, Textured turquoise and I think Ancient jasper on the rim.

More glaze results

this bowl was glazed with the metallic silver.

First coat white opal, then Bermuda green with mazerine blue on the rim.

Love this bowl, however I would glaze it slightly different next time.  I glazed the middle with white opal and rootbeer along the rim, where there was no white opal the rootbeer had some pitting.  Next time I will glaze the entire piece white opal with rootbeer on the rim.


I think this is my favorite combination! 2 coats Oatmeal base, 2 coats seaweed 3/4 down rim, 2 coats Ancient Jasper along the rim.

For this bowl I used ravenscriag White and Floating blue with cool magic along rim.
