TallTayl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Seems every vessel i make lately ends up filled with wax. He teases me about it every time i throw a lump of clay on the wheel and wet my hands. But, but, but they look so much better filled with wax!Love how the glaze did its magic hereWhen it was time to learn lids i could not get into the lesson until i thought of something that i really wanted to do: cauldrons to hold my Faire inspired Witches Brew blend of mostly base notes. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 They really are gorgeous, and you are right, even more beautiful with wax in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallTayl Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Everything is better with wax in it, lolI love how well the stoneware transfers the candle heat. I can wick down and still end up with a nice burn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 They are just beautiful those pottery pieces Talltail. I pour a lot into pottery and crocks and you are so right....they look better with wax in them and they sure do burn awesome. Love the pieces and the ones with the lid especially.

TallTayl Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 The latest class session is about to come to a close. I have hardly anything hitting the big kiln this time. Since this original post i did get a wheel for home (two actually, one for me and one for my daughter), but darnit all we have so little time right now to use them this time of year.My goal this session was to learn to throw taller forms. Most of them get sacrificed - being cut in half so i can examine the structure. Makes for a great learning experience, but leaves nothing to "show" for my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
