I'm thrilled that some of my pieces came out of the kiln. These turned out nicely. The seaword glaze only dripped a smidge on my mug and the other glazes worked perfectly. Only sad news was my serving bowl somehow ended up skewed, I'm guessing by the heat. Firing is such a mystery. What does happen in that kiln..jpg)
This portion of the process might be the most satisfying. I hope some day it will be the end result that gives me that feeling. Seeing that I have created a beautiful, usable object from an unshaped slab of clay is amazing. My ability to make sets have improved a great deal in the last few months as did my handles.
My first posting of my ceramics in process. Throwing clay could quite possibly be my favorite thing in the world. It's waiting for it to be fired that makes me crazy and then the glazing that can either make or break the piece.
