Empty shrines...

Last week - Monday - we unloaded the large gas kiln at the studio. I have been using a variety of low temperature glazes lately, but for the first time in months, I had pieces in this kiln. Very exciting! Unloading is a team effort, people traipsing in from the courtyard, arms piled high with pots... It was chilly, but felt like spring in the air... After multiple trips, then a fresh cup of coffee and discussion, looking over glaze results and finished pieces. I was so excited to take these three home and install bits and pieces...

 ...and I got a cold. I am not very creative when it feels like y head is full of rocks.

So now - here they are waiting for me. What will go inside? Sculpture, antique bits and bobs, artist's books, collages? I dont know yet, but I will show you as these pieces progress along.
