This is the best piece of the last firing. Spotted shino yunomi with blue/green celadon dipped on top of the shino.
Great reduction too. Sprinkled a bit of wood ash on part of it. I will use this glaze combo again soon!
My shelf at the studio is quite full. Pitchers, teabowls, and bowls...
Inscribed a few bowls. This one says 'a friend has been described as one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.'
This cereal bowl has the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi. So many words, the last words are on the bottom of the bowl.
Some more pics from the gas kiln firing. Becky's birds are simply gorgeous!
These were in the back left fo the kiln.
Here's how the kiln looked once the door was opened.
While some of the glaze on my bowls turned out darker than I wanted, this was one of my favorites. (Top Left) Blue and purple!
Here's one with the same glaze combo but it was thicker--- and the kiln got a bit hotter, I was told. Oh well..... Had to re-do a few orders. Life in the pottery world is an adventure. I think I'll paint on the alfred's blue next time.Finished throwing and trimming some pitchers this weekend. They look great! More pictures soon.

really like the blue/green celedon
Really like the purple, though I know you were disappointed that the words weren't visible. :(
Thanks for mentioning where the birds were placed. Now I know. Birdies like the back left of the kiln!
