I decided I should put up a few images of the last glaze fire of 2011 before I got too far into 2012. I like some of the images that I’ve seen of other potter’s work in a more natural surrounding instead of the gray backdrop. So I chose a few notable items and set them on the kitchen counter and snapped away as the sun was streaming in through the window.

It was fun getting shots from different angles with areas of light and shadow. And the sunlight really made some of the glaze colors sparkle. Â It was a little more interesting than sticking each piece on a gray back drop but I’m not sure that I really enhanced the feeling of functionality. Â Maybe I’ll try the table next time or add some food or silverware…
The full kiln load included a few more soup bowls, a refired platter, a couple larger bowls, another mug? and some Christmas ornaments. Nothing earth shattering but some pretty decent pots overall.
I just unloaded the kiln Tuesday evening after the first glaze fire of 2012. Mostly logo mugs with some great results. Images coming soon…
