Cancer councils biggest morning tea is coming

Gerald has been busy firing and firing and firing. Painted tea cups for the Cancer councils biggest morning tea exhibition. Its next week so we had to get a wriggle on.

 
 

more lovely stuff to help raise money for the cancer council

G's awesome tea pot. He's done a couple - and yahoo, we get to keep this one
(glaze popped off on his spout, bugger!) I shouldn't be so happy, sorry G.

G's stoneware coffee cups and tri bowls. I love this new design of cups, so elegant.
beautiful glaze- photo doesn't do it justice

tea cups galore!
 loads of pretty colours - such fun to paint. something I don't do often as its
 not really my cup of tea to  make tea cups, but it's for a good cause.

 Looking into the kiln
doing bisque firing again and again
then gloss, stoneware, midfire, midfire, midfire. Going to be a busy week 
 
Making some big corrugated leaves, rivet some cool metal supports....
 
Ah picture below
the squashed finger happened when a drill piece broke.
 Safety stuff always a good lesson.
 Ouch! (much)
got right back on that horse too
as G dressed the wound and put on a cut off rubber glove finger to keep it clean,
 finished with his much wanted (and obviously needed) supervision and support sigh...

 Hope you enjoy seeing us at work - where, when and how.

 We'll be ready, and looking forward to it.
