When I last left our hero, Ganesh he was fresh from the bisque firing and I was deciding what to do next. Well here he is being dipped in slip, not actually a glaze, but the way the slip reacts with the fire and ash in the kiln does give it a quality of being 'glazed'. (that is the point)
I could only watch (and take pictures) of Ganesha and his bench (rat mobile) got dunked in a large bucket of slip with much more capable hands than mine....
My task after his dip was to go all around the creices and make sure it was smooth so the sip didn't crack which would create a weird surface....it seemed to work....
Voilà! Here he is photographed fresh out of the wood fire kiln, all toasty warmly aglow....He is making passage now to the States. He decided to immigrate to New York. He'll be in good company.
