Tilt

I havent updated in ages! It is so busy here but here is the final outcome of my stay!

Saya's Birthday

It was Saya's birthday on Friday so Liz and I cooked and throw a fantastic party!! We played games including an excellently drawn pin the tail on the donkey - by Liz!! We had a Tower of cup cakes and the room was decorated with danish flags and paper chains as well as everyone having newspaper sailor hats!! A friend os Sten's was there so it was nice to have a translator! We talked about his work and who he has worked with. He used to work for Royal Copenhagen, as an artist. They used to have sheds at the old factory that we inhabited by artists, these artist would received a annual wage - but everything they made belonged to royal copenhagen. He now comes here from February to september and then spends winter with his wife on their farm, where he also has a studio, just above copenhagen.

Test Firings

The first set of test firings I did revealed that the handle on the tea cup was too heavy. But on my second test firing i did a selection of handle sizes and weights and two worked perfectly. I now need to make handle moulds fro the cup, sugar bowl and milk jug. It seems that i may not have time to make a teapot mould as time is running out - but we shall see!
