Kiln Results 1/23

January 31, 2022

Took me a while to post this because work was so busy last week I didn't have time to take pictures when there is actually good light.
Most of this kiln is gnomes. I've gone a little gnome crazy and I still have a lot more to glaze. With the height of some of these I was only able to get 2 other shelves into the kiln. This firing is also the first time I've had anything larger than earings come out with Kentucky Mudworks Brown Bear clay. I'm really liking the chocolate clay and made some some mugs and bowls where I can leave it partially unglazed.

Hat is Old Forge Test from Midnight Ceramics with Mayco Dandelion on the buttons. The Old Forge ran a lot more on a vertical surface than it had on my soap dish.
I don't remember what's on the hands and nose (its a stroke and coat), but its brighter than I intended.
Beard is a little black underglaze and then Jessica Putnam Phillips 2167 Clear

These were a refire. I added Mayco Cotton Tail to the beards because I didn't like them just brown.
