A selection of cups from recent firings. All fired to cone 6 in oxidation.
These four juice cups are made with Buff Stoneware by Amaco. Light Brown glaze on the inside and Dark Brown on the outside with Jen’s Juicy Fruit around the tops, running down.
Here is a closer look at the wood fired cups that were fired in Bill Kremer’s Notre Dame wood kiln.
Let’s start with the best results:

I’ve made a few small bottles during the last couple throwing cycles. They are fun to make and a good form to improve my throwing skills.

I hope this post is the first in a series of new posts about some of my recent work.
A few months ago I was asked to donate some pottery to the Local in Goshen for a fundraiser. They sold tickets to a catered meal served on pottery made by local potters. After the meal, the guests got to take home their handmade place settings. For each set they asked for a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl and cup. Here are some photos of my donations.

Here are a few pots from the last glaze fire. ^6 oxidation. Stoneware: Warm Brown or Buff Stoneware by Amaco.
Still trying a lot of different glaze combinations and trying decals on different glazes.
I’ll be glazing another load in the next few days. I hope to start concentrating on a few glazes and combinations that I like in hopes of a more defined body of work.
