Last pottery class , but it should push me to fire up the used kiln I bought...
Picked up glazed thi8ngs and glazed 2 last pots still to be fired.

Tried underglaze painting again, the first one I tried melted into clear glaze to the point of ghostlinest...

Had an extra set of hands today. Finished assembly on the first of four new bonsai benches. Basic style with 2by6 tops and 4by4 legs.
each bench uses 5 2by 6 8ft length, 12 ft of 2by4 and 12 feet of 4by4. pressure treated wood, will stain in the spring when I can do it outside.
Bench measures 8 feet in length 26 inch height and 22 inch width! The project will add 32 feet of display bench. Next up is the shade structure for a portion of the overall display space. It is taking a while to complete the new setup after moving from the acreage.
