On Sunday, I gave myself permission to sleep in and then spend the morning reading about the history of Iceland. Once I finally got to the studio that afternoon, I spent the rest of the day focused on developing new designs for my slip trailing work.

Yesterday, I started using some of those new designs on the black porcelain pots with new slip colors I mixed up over the weekend. I continue to be excited about where this new work is going. I finished 3 of the 5 pieces and have 2 more that I'll tackle today. Expecting more black porcelain in the next day or 2 before my last wet clay day this coming Sunday.

Fingers are crossed for no cracking in the drying process. I plan to bisque fire the work at the Fish Factory - Creative Centre and ship it all back to Iowa for glazing / final firing in my home studio.
