Glaze Fire Complete

Merry Christmas to your eyes.  Check out the photos of the new ceramic items that I just pulled out of the kiln.  If you’ve been keeping score at home you probably realized that I had a lot of glazing to do approximately one week ago.  Well, by “a lot” I meant “so much that I might never want to glaze anything again”.  You see, I spent most of the day and all night Saturday and into the early morning Sunday doing nothing except glazing bisqueware.  The good news is that I ordered five new glaze colors recently so I got to try them out. 

I fired the kiln starting Sunday at around 1:15 and it finished 8 hours later.  It cooled down Sunday night and Monday while I was at jury duty.  Of the new glazes that I ordered I really like the Temmoku and Textured Turquoise from Amaco and the Red Gold from Coyote.  Here are a few pictures:

Full glaze fire load from 12/14/08
small bowls and mugs with earth tones
Larger items

stoneware containers with lids
Small and medium mixing bowls
XL mug, marbled vase, torn vase

ceramic wheel-thrown plates
target practice, small cylinders
pitchers, tall lidded containers

If I can pull it off again, I hope to glaze another load and have it fired by Christmas.  Or Groundhog day….
