First post for 2016 finds me super excited. So much has been going on from collaborations with other artist to pushing new boundaries in my work.<br />
What I will share today is the progress I've made in my gas kiln conversion. I made some videos of the process and posted on my <a href="https://youtu.be/Ak7zaZfzbFM">YouTube channel</a> Please check them out and comment with any helpful suggestions; especially the seasoned gas kiln firer.<br />
Be blessed,<br />

It's like being a kid in a candy store, zipping from one end to the next; not sure which to have first. I am determined to try each one as I develop as a potter, honing the ones that attract me the most.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the techniques I really like and want to perfect is slip trailing. I became fascinated with it as I researched Japanese potters and discovered the work of Hamada Shoji. Then I saw British pottery and also contemporary American potter Alex Matisse and was hooked.<br>
So here I am, plodding along, trying to find my footing; learning how to loosen up and getting the right slip consistency.<br>
Here are some pieces I've done so far.</p><p dir="ltr">Be blessed,</p><p dir="ltr">GretaMichelle</p>

I moved away because there were so many other techniques to explore. <br>
I revisited the technique these past couple of weeks, with the intent on pushing the boundaries; not just brushing on the sodium silicate but applying it deliberately, leaving areas free, pushing the form out till it cracked through or pouring on the silicate or adding it to slip.<br>
These are the results so far. Can't wait to see them fired.</p>

When I started my artistic journey I sought to learn and experience every aspect of painting and drawing. I soaked up all the info I could get my hands on both online and offline.<br>
Clay is no different. I want to learn all there is to learn then learn what comes after. It excites me.<br>
I enjoy a good raku so my diy project was to build a raku kiln. This would also prepare me somewhat,for the challenges of gas firing. <br>
I'm going to share my process with you in another post this week but for now here's  a snap of the first firing test.</p>

I was fascinated by the energy, depth and light I saw reflected in the crystals. Almost as if they were moving.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am still a novice at mixing glazes so I bided my time until I was a little more comfortable before embarking on this adventure. I read books, looked at videos, listened to other crystelieri. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This week was C-day (you get it?) I used one of <a href="http://amazon.com/Fara-Shimbo">Fara Shimbo's </a>recipes from her book "Crystalline Glazes". I made three test batches: one base, one with cobalt and manganese, the third with copper, iron oxide and manganese. After a nerve racking, nail biting firing I have this to show.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sorry no pictures of the making. All I have are the results? I will let them speak. Clearer pictures later.<br>
Am I going to try this again? Oh hell yes!</p>

So they are headed for the reclaim bucket and I am starting over. Sometimes that's what you got to do.<br>
On the bright side, <i>(cause you got to look for </i><i><u>all</u></i><i> things working together for good</i>) I get to practise and correct the areas that lead to the cracking in the first place, which helps me to improve and grow. So to coin Simon Leach,<i> "Keep practicing!"</i></p>

(The climbing cats that I have, helped lower the number. They are very selective).<br>
Really excited about this firing cycle and this set of pots. Played with additives in the clay and new ( to me)  shapes. Stay tuned for the glaze report where more experiments take place. <br>

I joined Weebly in 2011 Started working on the site last year and published in December. For whatever reason I didn't announce it. So today I am showing you my <b><i><a href="http://www.gretamichellej.weebly.com/" target="_blank">trial webpage.</a> </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
I will use the free site for a while as I gauge the traffic and potential for using my domain name. So take a look and tell me what you think.<br />
I look forward to your feedback.<br />

Between Saturday night and Sunday, I finished filling my shelves. <b><i>Pictures below</i></b>. Have to find space for some tumblers that I need to complete then its clean up and back to porcelain. <br>
I am about to make two pieces to submit to two separate exhibitions. Prayers for success welcome :) <br>

<p dir="ltr">I am not giving up though. Made another one. Measures about 10" and the "knob" on the lid was inspired by my love of collecting shells and stones at the beach. I have a good feeling about this one. </p>

Hopefully my sacks will dry out enough so I can have clay while I wait for my order to come. I want to work out some images that I see in my minds eye.<br>
Threw one piece afterward. It started out one way but along the way I saw something else and went with it. Can't wait for it to dry so I can turn it and 'play' with colour. <br>
Funny what you can see in a drop of water.<br>
Be blessed,<br>

The last batch of glaze tests hinted at goblets. Haven't thought about anything else since.<br>
Have a lot of structural issues to work out; one of them being a clay that cracks at the drop of a pin tool. May decide to make a video of my process, who knows.<br>
Be blessed<br>
