Yes, it's been way too long since I've spent a bunch of time at Clayworks. Lent has a way of keeping me away... Lots of work these days. Still, I managed to get ten pieces into the kiln that was loaded on Wednesday evening. Most of the pieces are in the back stack except...
Except that I could find two of my yunomis behind these big pieces-- the yunomi cups are on bricks on the right side of the stack. Usually, that is a great space for good colors on pots.
There's really two in there.
Here are the ten pieces that I glazed on Wednesday afternoon. Most are glazed in spotted shino with catherine's oribe, wood ash, and soda ash for accents. The ones that are white were dipped into tom's clear glaze and then catherine's oribe.
I put some splashes of the catherine's oribe on the inside of these vases. Each of the vases have inscriptions on the outside. I'm eager to see how these all will turn out.
Sprinkled a bit of wood ash on the inside of these pieces too. The wood ash is from my parent's fireplace and I really like the additional texture and color it gives.
Not sure why; I decided to smudge the wood ash a bit. I wonder what this will bring...
Sprinkled a small bit of wood ash on one of the vases. Will take pictures of the kiln unloading tomorrow once again... Stay tuned!

can't wait to see your firing with the smudged wood ash from your parents and the inscriptions.
