Today was play time with clay at Pam's house. I haven't been there for 3 weeks, and had no idea where to start. But, she had bisque fired J's pieces and a couple of mine, so it was obviously glaze time. I glazed Jordan's tiny little tray with Randy's red and her pencil holder with Opal. Then I glazed one of my little bird plates with Opal followed by BB. But, the blue didn't go on well at all. Almost immediately, it began cracking and was just yuck. I told Pam that if it still looked horrible when she was ready to fire the next load to just wash the glaze off and I would start over. I also did some tedious underglazing with Amaco velvet underglazes on a plate that I made. Then, before I knew it, playtime was over.
I still haven't brought my kiln to anyone to repair it yet. I talked to someone, but Pam gave me another name and will talk to him to get another estimate for work.
