Tracking the journey of setting up my ceramic studio and the hard work that follows

I have been very busy....

I have been keeping up with my plan of at least an hour every day in the studio.  I have been spending way more time than that in there.  When I get home from work until I go to bed.  It is great.  A lot of things have been getting done!  I have a bunch of pictures to prove it.  :)





This platter is for my sister. 

Greenware waiting to be bisque fired this weekend. 

A couple of weeks ago I did a sale at my Aunts work.  My husband did one at his work this past week.  A little extra spending money for Christmas.   

I am glad I have been working a lot.  I have to start making things for the upcoming spring and summer sales.  I am excited.  I am going to try not to procrastinate like I always do.  I am going to have everything done and complete way before the sales this year.  Bring on the new year!

No Excuses....

I have been very lazy lately.  I am really trying to get motivated to work on my ceramics.  I have been thinking recently why I have not been working and I have come to the conclusion that my work is not exciting or satisfying to me.  So I have been doing some research on glazes and other techniques to use.  I know I can throw pottery and glaze with pre-mixed glazes......I just need to find my niche and start from scratch.

Today I came up with a list of chemicals that I will need to be able mix up some new glaze samples and for some new techniques.  I am getting excited about pottery again.  I told my husband that he needs to push me to get in the studio even when I don't want to.  I want to make this a fun hobby not one that I really don't want to do.  So I am back!  I am going to make a goal to be in the studio at least an hour a day.  I hope I get my followers back and I promise I will be blogging again.  :)
