Update of TAFE projects for this year

I haven't been posting too much for the past 4 months and after a big Christmas break I have been busy!!

This year I am focusing only on midfire cone 6 firings.

I am developing:

1. Midfire clay
2. glear glaze and hopefully some others (a glaze that is funcitonal at cone 6 and 10 would be handy!)
3. Origami bowls using drape mould and engobes or a light and day clay (these are terracotta)
4. a wall hanging for outdoors

Photos of each project to follow!!
