I got mail....

New toys and more underglazing...

Wow I think I blinked... This week has just flown by.... But it has been a good week, so I'm happy with that....

So in my studio this week I got mail :)...... I made a decision to renew my trimming tools. My old favourite one had been over sharpened with the file and well it was just time. Online I went and placed an order for some new underglaze for painting and a couple of new trimming tools. Then while on there I started gazing at books, and one book I have been wanting for quite some time came up. It is The Ceramic Spectrum by Robbin Hopper. It's been out for a while but I was pretty impressed to find The book Depository in the UK had free shipping world wide. So, you got it, I ordered it and I am now a happy owner of the book and looking forward to sitting down with a cuppa to immerse myself in all of it's contents on glazes... 

 

 

Also on the bottom left of the above picture you will see the blue bulb. Something else I have been wanting since I did a workshop in Perth two years ago. It's the Xiem Studio Tools Presicion applicator. We used it in the workshop with underglazes and it can be used with a very smooth slip. Have you got one or ever used one? I would love to hear from you if you have any tips on using one...Time to have a play and experiment I feel with my new toys... :)

I am still painting my teapots that I posted in last weeks blog. Three down two to go... and a little splash of coloured underglazes on some mugs... So that is what I've been up to this week in my studio. What have you been up to?
