Lots going on in the studio

There is a lot of good stuff going on in my studio right now! It makes me happy. I have stayed pretty much consistently busy for the past several months, making new work, firing it, and getting it into galleries, then once everything is out of the studio I'm making more and more work!
     Right now I am working on four pieces for this exhibit, and I'm relatively happy with the way they are coming along, glazing wise. I hope they will look cool once finished. My plan is to hang them in my studio before taking them to TRAC, just to see what they will look like. The three round pieces I might have to hang myself, we will see. The other day I started making vases and I am using bird imagery which is something I haven't done, EVER! And I really like the way they look. I have posted some images on my Facebook page. Four of them are kind of going to be like a mini series, I am playing with the idea of multiples and working within a series. I think it will be really fun to be working this way. I have also made some vases that are domed, they look like pills, so I am calling them my pill vases. I love the form I am just not really sure about how to glaze them, or put imagery on them. Again I will post pictures on Facebook.
     I am trying to get work together to put in the craft shop for when we reopen on May 3! Actually I have the work I just need to put a clear glaze on them. I also need to finish some platters that I want to put in the shop. I need to be making work for other galleries as well, I just don't know when I will find the time to do so.
    I am sitting here tonight in my studio with a list that I made for studio tour and what I am wanting to have for it, making little notes here and there. Deleting items adding items so on and so forth. I keep telling myself that I am going to start on studio tour months in advance, but it never really seems to work that way :(. Studio tour is the second weekend in June, and I have a long list of stuff I want to make. Fingers crossed! As soon as the tour is over I have three months until my next show, which is the Bakersville Creekwalk Festival, a show that I did last year and had fun. But the getting ready part sucked! But, I did make everything that I had on my list, so.
     Anyways that is my rant for the night, I guess I have a lot on my mind.
Stay Tuned and check out my Facebook page, Tria Turrou Studios. "like me" please.

My firing worked!

I opened the kiln this morning afraid of what I was going to find, and as I lifted the top shelf, I breathed a sigh of relief!, top shelf with ingredient bowls is fine! As I made my way further down into the kiln I was thanking the kiln gods for a successful firing! I went to bed last night kind of stressing out about the kiln, wondering if I was going to freak out and have a really really bad day, but I don't think it will be a bad day!
More later. 

Is there a plan B?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! So last night, I was drying some things in the kiln and STUPID me left the bottom on medium ALL NIGHT! I am making work for the studio tour exhibit and that is what is in the kiln! I am hoping for a perfect outcome, I am praying to the kiln gods that everything  will come out and be okay!
I did just peep into the kiln and everything looked fine!! My fingers are crossed that everything is alright. Because there is no plan B! I didn't think of that, usually I have another plan but this time I didn't think to!

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned :) 

So... I have been trying to finish up some stuff for my upcoming firing. Make heads for a piece that I am working on for the Studio Tour exhibit(something I should have done when I started the piece), finish decorating ingredient bowls, finish up some platters that I keep obsessing over, you know stuff like that. 
I am going to try to write something on my blog everyday, I know I have said that before, but this time I mean it! I will keep ya'll updated on the happenings in my studio!
Stay tuned! 

Back to blogging!

Hey party people!!! I am back!! I took time off I know! But, I'm back! I think. I have been busy in the studio making some really awesome work! I have been playing with some molds I made for bowls and I'm making platters! Really fun ones too. 

These are the platters I've been working on! They are really fun to make and fun to decorate! I'm just using my imagination to decorate! I have also been making bowls and plates! Totally different from the platters of course. I think the bowls and plates are tame compared to my platters. 

These are some of my newest plates. Really fun to make, but maybe not as fun as the platters. 

I am going to try to keep up with this blog! I am going to try to make it like a daily diary of what is going on in my studio. 

Stay tuned! 

Lots going on!

Hi. Remember me? I used to blog a lot, but then I got lazy!!!!!!!! Any ways. I'm going to start this again! (hopefully) and keep you all who read this up to date on what I'm doing in the studio!!!!! Lets see where to began? In May I finished school!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ended up with my Associate in Fine Arts Degree!!! I'm very very very glad to be finished with school! now I can devote all my time to my studio!!! And that is what I have been doing! I've been working and creating some awesome work, that I'm really happy with! It's bright and colorful and oh yeah the writing on those bowls is out of my journal. Don't worry, its hard to read since its backwards!!!!!!! I recently started doing that, to add a personal touch. Plus I think it looks really cool!!!!!!!!!!! I'm using underglazes mostly in my work now, I like how bright they are when you've added the clear glaze to them or even before. I'm still using regular glazes but I am curently in LOVE with my underglazes!!!!!!!! I am doing a show towards the end of this month in Bakersville!!!!!!!!! September 22! I would love if people came by and saw me!!!!!!!!!!! I will have almost all new work for this show, this is a one day show and from what I hear, its a really really good show!!!!!!!!!!!!
