Some pots from the last firing

The last firing went so well but the pots were mostly just OK.  The shinos came out fairly well but the temmokus fell short of my expectations, which goes to show you probably shouldn't have them (expectations).  The beautiful tea dust from the June firing came out purple with green washes and the Hamada Rust was mostly rust, no black.  The little garlic house is a prototype which needs lots of work as I don't normally handbuild - seems a bit crude but hopefully after a dozen or so they'll flow better.

The next firing won't be until mid-September when we'll hopefully have had some rain, so now I can get some much needed gardening done.
