An Obsession of Color

The glaze collection has officially begun, and I don’t imagine this will be anything less than a total obsession. There were sooooo many amazing glaze options at the ceramics store, it felt impossible to choose. Colors, textures, finishes… I wanted all of them. Naturally, I’m already excited to buy more.

There’s something especially thrilling about this stage, imagining what each piece might become once fire gets involved. My first load of glazed items is ready to head to Daven’s for firing, and now comes the familiar mix of excitement, hope, and a little bit of nervous curiosity.

Clay teaches patience. Glaze teaches surrender. And apparently, it also teaches restraint… which I am still very much learning.
