New pots




Above photos are the results of the recent firing... The first round of glazing on the new mugs are a little too shiny for my tastes. I'm going to try some matte combos for the next round. The second photo is a large platter that came out much better than I was expecting. (And that's an unusual turn of events!) Last shot includes a cake stand and some soap dishes with a shell motif, along with fabric/quilt art from my sister. Her portrait piece is cool!

I just love the platter, the glazing is spectacular, - if you don't mind my asking, did you spatter the glaze on to get that effect?. I also like the mugs in the back on the right with the floating dots. Your sister is very talented too.

The work looks great - yours & your sisters!

I agree some recipes allow for more matteness (is that a word?) Do you have a controller on your kiln so you can slow cool? I'll share my ramp schedule if you want.

Hi Linda! Regarding the glazing: Yep, just splattered across there like Jackson Pollock. (Well, I should say TRYING to be like Jackson Pollock!)

Hi Judy! Thanks so much for the ramp schedule! It's posted on my to-do board in the studio. I really appreciate it!

Thanks, just like Jackson Pollock, but your canvas is slightly smaller.

My compliments on the glaze on the platter, really nice effect. I love big platters, especially in stoneware. So much fun to use when entertaining.
