For starters, this pic is what is supposed to be in the header of this blog. These are three of my favorites. For some reason, it isn't turning out that way. Technology! Oh, and while I remember-- I will buy a new small digital camera next week. Please, please give recommendations!
Now onto other matters. This is one of the three bowls that I'm making for the episcopal center at Duke University. I'm making three with the hopes that one turns out to be the size I need and the colors (blue and white) are a good match. I glazed this with blue-green celadon as a base and then sprinkled some catherine's oribe glaze and then, dipped the inside of the bowl in...
alfred's blue, which I intentionally had drip to the edges of the outside. The blue will run, which is a very good thing.
Hence, the inside of the finished bowl. I'm eager to see how this turns out.
And it made it into the gas kiln. It's on the top shelf there, next to one of my plates. The chalice in the top left corner of the pic is also mine and goes along with the plate.
Well, there's three big bowls of mine here in the gas kiln. Here are two... and-
The third of mine is on the second shelf on the left from the top. It is so big it takes up a whole shelf. Here, Greg is setting up the kiln packs. There are two holes for peeking-- one on the bottom right and the other on the top left, to help regulate the flow of air,etc.. at the top and bottom of the kiln at any given moment. I still have much to learn in the 'kiln' world.
The two front stacks just before the door is closed. Kiln unloading on Saturday afternoon! The countdown begins! Pics to follow, of course. How I love to be in the pottery world.

I would highly recommend a Sony Cybershot. It is very easy to use and takes great shots. Best of luck with your firing!
The Canon Powershot A-series are also nice.
I have a Sony and it has given no problems, but I am by no means an expert with digital; 35 mmm was my game way back when. I so miss reduction firing every time I see the kilns you show with all your beautiful work. Your bowls are looking great, I can't wait to see how they turn out. Smart of you to make three. the class I signed up for has only cone 5/6 and raku. Some day I hope to use my glazes again.
