It was a disaster!

I was very disappointed with my first glaze fire of the year.  It was a disaster!  I had really hope for some good pieces but at the end only these red mugs turn out ok.  





This one is with texture honey which ran a bit and some small piece is now stuck on the kiln shelf.  :(


I like the effect on this one, however the handle cracked!

This one stays put with the kiln shelf.  :'(

Guess what?!  I am shopping for some new kiln shelves just in case I can't get that lovely mug off the kiln shelf.  It also means that I have to make more pieces to recover from this mishap.

Pottery girl has been quite productive

Like I mentioned last time, since I didn’t have a show in December and didn’t spend much time outside this winter, I was able to spend more time in the studio. As a result, I actually have some finished pieces ready! I opened the kiln earlier this afternoon for my second glaze firing of the year (can you believe my 2nd glaze firing in April, this has never happened before)—here they are (sorry about the lighting…). The bottom shelf, the initial picture didn't work out and I had to take another one 2nd shelf with pieces that I did slip trail.  This is my first time doing this and I quite like the result. 3rd shelf  Top shelf  I’ve also been trying out a new look for my mug handles, but they didn’t make it into this firing. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next update!

Last firing before the show

One last firing before the show, and I’m happy to say that every piece turned out beautifully.
