Work Day

I have been working on my colander/strainers for a few days now and they are coming along nicely. Here is the tool I use to create designs in the bowl and make the holes in the colander/strainers.




I end up with lots of little dots of clay. I wish I could figure out a project to do, with all these little dots.



After the colander/strainers are bisque fired I will need to prepare each one for the glaze firing. I will clean each piece and put wax in all of the holes and the foot rings of the colander/strainers. The whole process takes about 12-15 hours to make twenty colander/strainers. This does not include the firing process.
