Thank you so much for all the visits and posts. I love to read and you all made my day. I've just been pouring crawl mugs since we got back.

Progress Report:

While we were away a group of Sacramento Crawl mugs were drying.

When doing these mugs I had a bright idea. Instead of leaving them upside down over night to drain I would pour out the slip and then set them right side up. That way a bit more slip would be running down the sides making the bottoms thicker.

Not a good idea. As the extra slip dried it cracked.

I'm lucky that I had a tool I could use to scrape off the cracked slip and make the bottom fine again. It just took some time.

When at Oasis we did a side trip to a ceramics store and I found some new glazes. So I've made another set of glaze tests.

In the morning I'll start on the Wish List. I haven't counted but I think there are more than 30 items to make. I'll be busy so I'll be posting many Progress Reports along the way.

I appreciate your friendship and support. Cheers, Wendy
