Perhaps the best for last? This was the gas kiln firing at Clayworks' current location. In late July, we'll move to Monroe Rd. While I was contemplating whether to switch glazes, I got these results. Gorgeous! Think I'll stay with these glaze combos awhile longer. Above are small salsa/yogurt/hummus bowls. 
LOVE these teabowls. Will be hard to part with any of them. Wisdom learned...Use more soda ash! glaze combo is spotted shino with accents of alfred's blue and blue/green celadon (which turned purple). Some good crystal parts from the soda ash too.
Not a good pic, yet these tumblers are beautiful! Will take more pics later. These are perfect for iced tea. The soda ash and wood ash really showed up this time! Not always the case.
Closer look at some tumblers. Blue/green celadon turned purple!
Wow... these are amazing. All the tumblers have a thumb notch for easy handling.
Two vases. On the vase on the right, poured some mystery glaze onto it. I'm so happy with these. May just keep them...
Same jars. On the other side. Put some broken glass on the rims of these after glazing. Rich colors!
Bowls which did some interesting things. Cloudy appearance.... wondering why. Will ask Adrienne, director at Clayworks. She'll know. Still, most of the words can be read.
A jar, despite the fact taht the whole jar isn't in the picture! Perfect for a couple flowers.
Pitcher I made for a friend. She wanted the trinity symbol on it, for baptisms. hope she likes it! A bit darker than I thought it would be, yet I'm so pleased!
The inside of it is much lighter. The gas kiln produces so many mysterious results. I like this.
More bowls....

really nice! I especially like the bowls in the first photo!! Of course I am truly a sucker for shino :)
Wow Amy, those are all beautiful, love the little humus bowls and the multicolored vases. How did you achieve the trinity symbol, it looks metallic gray, wonderful results.
Lovely work. I really like what you have done with the shino glaze, and it is wonderful the "wood fired" look you are achieving with a gas kiln. Isn't it fun when a "mystery glaze" turns out well! Some of the glazes I have done have been when layer 2 or more glazes over each other...., but I always forget which ones I used! Kind Thoughts, P.
