School Tile Update

Gardening Club ceramics tiles
A few blog posts ago I mentioned a project that I did with the schools gardening club, you can review it here.
Well, after storing them in my garage over the summer I finally got them into the kiln a couple of weeks ago, and this is the final glaze firing for the tiles. They have glazed really well and I'm so glad I took the decision to only let them glaze the letters just one colour (much to the children's annoyance at the time) I didn't want to control how they used the colours but just felt that the letters would be lost in a mix of glaze colours if I hadn't.


The children collected leaves, twigs and other garden objects and imprinted them into the tiles.

The tiles need to be mounted onto a wooden sign now ready to be placed in the school garden. I will post more pictures when this is done.

Out of the kiln!

Today I opened my kiln and have lots of new things.
 I love these though because they are made by two of my children. They made these things a while ago but they wanted to slop some glaze about, so they did.

Noah's Knee Pot


Formed around his little knee and given three supporting feet. 

Molly's Fox.
She wanted to have a go at making some animal heads herself.
I prefer hers to mine! Perhaps I will ditch my own glazing efforts and get her to  do it instead!
