morgaina | more firing results (Reply)

Here are another few things. Of course the kiln held considerably more than I photographed, but I thought these might be of interest.

This was glazed by a local SCA lady. I thought it was interesting because she applied the glaze as if she was painting with watercolor and I think it was quite successful.

I'm giving this mug to

dancing_guru. I like it, but hang my head in shame because it is glazed with a commercial glaze that is named "celadon". It was not high-fired in a reduction kiln with Iron Oxide as the colorant, so if one is a stickler for the authentic, which I wish I was, it's not a traditional celadon. But, did I say I like it anyway? I think I found a way to almost exactly duplicate the glaze color and texture mixing my own glaze, which will be a big moneysaver.

I re-fired this bowl because I wasn't satisfied with the first application of overglaze. This second firing gave it a good texture so I am pleased with it now.

slysidonia if you are still interested please let me know.
