I am embarking on a couple of new experiences and can't find my journal...sounds like a perfect time to give blogging a try. Plus, I have spent untold hours reading other's blogs, so here goes.
I am gathering the materials to begin encaustic painting. I have a few projects thought out and have begun working out the details. I am also working through a new (to me) book, Ceramic Design Course, by Anthony Quinn. (I am a ceramic artist in my other life.)
The other experience is building and firing a minigama - a small kiln - fired with charcoal. Quite a different experience than my 'normal' clay work. The initial process of building the kiln is a bit drawn out since the kiln needs to dry out slooowly before bisque firing. Final firing of the ONE piece that fits in the kiln happens quickly, in just over four hours.
