I got to help out at the Notre Dame wood kiln again this year. Another great experience. And the results were so much better than last year!

Michiana Pottery Tour of 2015
Well, a few months have passed since the Michiana Pottery Tour so I thought it was about time for me to give a quick recap.
I returned to the tour stop at Northern Indiana Pottery Supply hosted by Moey Hart. There were a bunch of new potters there this year. I think one of my favorite parts about the tour is meeting new people and talking to them about their work. And of course, trading pots at the end!

Top Pots of 2014
Here are some of my favorite pots that I made in 2014. Other than the wood fired cups these are all fired to ^6 oxidation.

flaming shot glass
Shot Glasses or Tiny Cups
I love making these tiny little cups. First, they are easy and quick. Second, they are great for testing glazes. Third, they fill in spaces between the bigger pieces in the kiln.
All fired wheel thrown, stoneware clay, fired to ^6 in oxidation.
Buff Stoneware clay with various glaze combinations:
