Auroric tile rolling

13th October 2024

G’day, from the UK. Happy Sunday!

Not much boat time this week, but on Thursday I started working on some tile samples:

These by hand, but I’ll get a pasta-maker type thing (a “slab roller”) for the rest, and I’ll spend a few weeks experimenting with clays, slips and glazes before starting mass production.

And on the way back I caught a photo of the aurora! I couldn’t see it particularly well, but my phone camera picked it up:

On Saturday I squeezed in some bedroom varnish sanding before heading out, then cleaned it up this afternoon, ready for the final coat (and lighting!). Moving back to the marina next weekend, and I’m looking forward to some longer boat days…

Until next Sunday!
