The potters and their studio.

Ray at the wheel

Dinner plates and butter dishes along with the 16 oz. coffee mug that provided Sue with the fuel for a morning's work. 

1. Prepared the slab roller and rolled out the clay between canvas to a thickness suitable for dinnerware (the top roller is adjustable).
2. Cleaned the canvas imprint off the clay with a scraper (actually a repurposed paint edger).
3. Cut out the shapes and draped them over the plaster molds Sue made and rounded the edges.

Coaxing a large slab of clay into a rectangular baker mold. (Sue has made all the molds.)

Glazing & Firing

Ware rack of glazed pots ready to be loaded.

Ray loading the stoneware kiln. A job that takes most of the day to get the right pots in the right places and lifting and balancing some mighty heavy shelves on 3 kiln posts each.

Kiln half loaded.
