First Glaze Fire of 2013

I had a chance to fire some pieces a few weeks ago and just recently took some photos of some of my favorites. Finally today, I got the images to my computer and made them web worthy.

Glaze Fire Results – October 2012

Here are some of the highlights of the load I pulled out of the kiln in late October. Actually, you can see some of the mugs in the Zombie Run post.

But here is some of the best non-sculptural work:

All functional ware. All wheel thrown with Warm Brown Stoneware and glaze fired to ^6.

Pretty good results overall. I like the combination of the Waterfall Brown and Licorice glazes (both from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes). I also mixed up a small amount of the Glossy Clear Liner to use on the inside of some pots.

As for form, I feel like I’ve got a pretty good variety in this load. I’m still refining a lot of things but I’m making progress.

I’ve got a bunch of pots downstairs drying that I hope to get finished for Christmas. I’ve also got some more posts to publish on the blog here. Hopefully soon! Thanks for reading.

I hope to post some images of my glaze test results soon.
