First results of the workshop

I opened the kiln yesterday with the first results of the workshop. Look how pretty these came out:

The above work is by Lieve from Onar Originals and she just has the cutest drawings. These cups and plates will be already available at Platvorm this weekend. How cool is that?

Haha, I think that I might need a cup of sugar with no milk today! :) Love these cups. Helen's drawings are so much fun. She has a lovely picture blog too! It's called 'O, wat zie ik je graag'.

Sea level studs

New Sea Level studs will be added to the shop soon.  They are going to make their first appearance at the Ceramic Market in Maaseik this Sunday.

These are glazed and then there are transfers burned into them. Very fiddly work but I think the result is super!

More busy hands

The second workshop 'working with transfers' was today and hands couldn't be busier cutting and placing the transfers.The kiln will be steaming hot the next couple of days firing all that has been made! Will show some results when it's been fired...
Soon I'll announce new dates for fall! First I need to get my act together for the ceramic fair this Sunday in Maaseik, Belgium. Still lots to do and so little time! ;)

Workshop results

So the kiln has been firing non-stop to fire all the work that has been made at the workshop last saturday. All has come out fabulous up until now. I'm so pleased and hope the participants will be too when they recieve their goods! :)

Busy hands

Today I had the first workshop 'working with transfers' in my studio.
Busy hands working magic.

And they werey extremely productive so I have a few kilns to fire in the coming days... :)

Glazing earstuds & new designs

The other day I glazed some earstuds. Normally I apply the decals onto unglazed ware but with digital decals it is much harder to apply them to unglazed ware. So I had the joy of glazing fiddly tiny discs for earstuds.

When Anna made the new designs for the Sea Level line, there is always room left for a few teeny tiny designs for earrings. Below you can see a sample of some of the new designs. Yes, some, there are more then these but I didn't feel like cutting all of them out just to get a sample. :)

These new earstuds will be first available at the ceramic market in Maaseik on the 30th of June. 

In the mean time, there are still some pieces left of the MINORERROR work if you like to get a good deal. :)

MINORERROR

What a weird title for a blogpost hey? It's a coupon code that's available in my Etsy shop. While making the new line, there was some testing involved of course. And not all went right.
When I fired the pieces, I placed the plates on top of the bowls. The temperature I fire the transfers is not that high that I would think the glaze would be affected. Unfortunately it has and so I have some bowls and cups with minor errors on top of the rim or on the bottom of the plates or saucers.

The errors are nearly not visible so we decided to offer these pieces on a discounted price. If you have been eyeing the new work you can now get your piece at 50% discount. I tried photographing the errors but they are so tiny that it's nearly impossible...

Anyway, below you can see the images of 2 pieces only but on all the bowls, plates, cups, saucers, the errors are that minor. The errors are right below the text. Put on your glasses 'cause they are very hard to see. ;)

If you want to adopt a piece with an error on them, please go to my Etsy shop, purchase the piece that you want and add MINORERROR as a coupon code and it will give you a discount of 50%. 

I will update the pieces that are available here so come and check here what's still available... These are the pieces that have errors on them:

• Seadragon bowl
• Seadragon plate
• Coral bowl (SOLD)
• Coral plate (SOLD)
• Coral cup
• Coral saucer
• Bird bowl
• Bird plate
• Bird cup
• Whale bowl
• Whale plate
• Whale cup

If you purchase pieces with a discount and they are not available anymore, I will cancel the sale.
And obviously, the coupon code is only available on the Sea Level line.
