After a lethargic start to the new year, I at last got the raku kiln fixed and got round to firing some of the new teabowls, chawan and yunomi style. The wonder of the internet certainly does bring the market to you, and for all it's faults it's such an indispensible tool of the modern world. Of the new fired batch I managed to sell over half of it to online customers, including a guy from Singapore , a much appreciated collector from Sussex , and several to the # CharlieBGallery managed by owner Charles Blim in Nevada, USA. It was certainly pleasing to have achieved some sales, with the pots barely cool from the kiln! It's been fun too, I've been experimenting with " flashing" the pots in magazine print sheets in the reduction bin and this has been positive and looks hopeful for a new palette of colours. So after my last rather gloomy post I am at least- back! Happy potting.
