Pots from the May Firing

 The firing was fairly good -  a bit too hot for some of the ash glazes so quite a few runs and plucks - but overall lots of decent pieces.  Now it's back to the wheel and a bit of a push for the June firing.

Ash glazed jug.  Love how it carbon traps.

12" shino plate.

My favourite jug from this firing.  Red shino.

Front of the kiln vase with heavy ash.  Ash glaze part way down.

Great colour on the red shino baby dishes.

Red shino faceted bowl.

Red shino soy server.

Temmoku condiment dish.

Ash glazed batter bowl with extra kiln ash.  

I've always wanted one of these but couldn't afford so I made!

Stacked

I love it when the table and the shelves are full of glazed, ready to go pots.  I love the beautiful patterns that the salts in the shino glazes make as the glaze dries.  And I love loading the kiln!  So exciting, so hopeful, imagining what will happen in the fire.  

Firing tomorrow.
