August Glaze Load

Some new work from my recent glaze load. I've been trying to get mysterious blue (floating blue) to the colour I like (more blue than green). The last new load was using a new schedule with slow cooling and I fired it close to 2200F which was really cone 6 and of course mysterious blue turned green.

This time around I fired my kiln to 2188F and mysterious blue still wasn't very blue. And cones showed the kiln was a bit hotter than cone 5.5.

Left cone was placed at the lowest shelf whereas the right was placed on the top shelf

I cheated a bit on one of the garlic keepers as I started that at the end of December. Some bowls for Great Bowls of Fire were made and a number of mugs as well. Garlic keepers and soup bowls And my TODO list is getting slightly longer. My mom asked me to make a few mugs for her friends in Hong Kong. My parents have been great supporters of my work and this is just to show that they think that their friends might like them as well. Still need to make more to fill the kiln, but I am happy with the accomplishment so far. Mugs to be
