Casting and firing

two heads

Here’s a little update or those of you who may be wondering what’s happening in my studio right now. The pictures are from yesterday’s casting session and today’s morning.

cast parts cast heads

I have hours of wet soft fired greenware cleaning ahead of me and not particularly looking forward to it. Still, I don’t mind it so much as I’ve gotten my system nicely organised at this point, keeping loads of towels handy and changing them often as they soak up the water I splash around. I haven’t done any porcelain cleaning in some time, so hopefully it won’t be that bad ;)

I also have the kiln on, soft firing previously cast and dried pieces. One of the shelves is full of heads! Some of them are new faces I’m planning to reveal soon. Pictures will apear here, as always :)
