September Fire

Our September firing was much better! Got some great pieces in anticipation of our craft show "coming out"! I also did some glaze tests that were not as fabulous as I thought they might be.

These two cups had the top dipped in sage grean and then light shino was poured thick all over. Not crazy about the result!

I really like this cup -- it was a happy accident! The bottom half was left bare. Toshi Brown was applied to the rest and Moss Green was painted on the top 1/3. Will be doing this combination again.

These two cups have blue shino on the bottom with Pam's green on the top and the inside. I think I like them.

I wasn't crazy about this combination. JB's brown was applied all over then the top third was dipped in Pam's Green.

I really like the Galaxy glaze. I put Archie's base on the rim -- it was very runny. But I think I will make more of these.

Two bowls done in Paprika and muted gold. Very nice and predictable combination.


This is a crock. I really like it, but have decided that I need to make these bigger if I expect people to use them for indoor composting. This one was done in Galaxy with black painted on the handles and top.
Love this flower pot. Dipped in antique iron with Archie's base on the rim.

Coffee cups and utensil holder -- made by Arne-- dipped in Shino and Mottled Blue. I love the diagnal pattern of the glaze. This glaze combination is one of our favorites and is very predictable. Very nice!
Again another combination we love, Gun Metal Green under the Shino. Always turns out good. These are cups made by Arne. Love his manly style.

Planter dipped in Mottled Blue with the rim dipped in gun metal green. I am reading his notes about his glazing and it says "Yikes". Apparently he didn't think it was going to turn out...but I think it looks great!

Again the Shino and Mottled blue. Like I said we love the combination. This is a set of mixing bowls with a batter bowl and some cups. I love the way they turned out!

Utensil holder and bowl done in paprika and muted gold. I love the shape of this untensil holder. It is a pretty feminine piece for my manly man.



Two bowls dipped in Antique Iron with the rims dipped in muted gold.
Another crock. I really need to perfect what I am doing with these. Again I think they need to be bigger. This one ran really bad and stuck to the kiln shelf. Uggggg! We are using it but I will be making another one.
