Kiln Results 1/25
January 28, 2023
So I think that the overall process of making many of the same things makes my process better, but it make kiln openings a little less fun. This kiln opening has a lot more variety than the last couple. Lots of bright springlike colors in this kiln.
I think my favorite 2 pieces are the doggy prints. A friend of mine got a new puppy in the fall and her Christmas present was puppy prints. I made two just in case one got messed up, but when I had an extra one the W and R are my puppies Willow and River. Delilah was a little wary of it but once she sniffed it she was fine. With my puppies you would have thought the clay was hot lava with how the reacted. It was funny. I actually think there is a market for these if I could figure out how to do it - probably only local.
I really like how the tree experiment came out. I think that with the white it will likely only be sellable in winter, but the speckled clay with the white with the trees came out exactly as I wanted.
Also - the last kiln opening lost the glazes somehow. Not sure how that happened, but it's been updated now if you were curious on any of the glazes.
