Recently...

...I have been working on some new bowls.  I threw them over a couple of days (not quite a production thrower yet!), and most are the perfect size for a big scoop of your favourite flavour of ice-cream!

I am preparing to glaze them with soft glossy pastel colours on the inside, and have a clear gloss on the outsides.  At the end of last week I did up a number of tests, and couldn't wait to get the test tile out of the kiln this morning!

I am quite happy with most of the colours, but of course I won't be using them all! As I used an assortment of powdered stains (glaze, body, multipurpose etc) some of them didn't quite work out.  The Lilac and Pink Body Stain unfortunatley made the base glaze loose its gloss.  I'm very much so looking forward to getting some of these onto my bowls!
