I uploaded some of yesterday's firing onto my Etsy page this morning. The above bowl -- a fifteen-incher in my Millring Green glaze with a subtle rim and equally quiet swirl.







I had this casserole with a crack in it laying around. I wanted to see how the "Yellow Salt" glaze would break over texture. This glaze has some possibilities. I won't use it as it is on the casserole, but be looking for some new pots to show up with that glaze as the basis (I gots some good ideas!).
I always enjoy your posts,long or short,and I find them more intersting than a few pictures of "my latest bisque firing" or "here's my daughter making yet another wacky face."
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see and read about your beautiful dogs and pots than wade through another recipe post.
For my money, you, John Tilton, Dan Finnegan, Tony Clennell, and a few others have a good ratio of pottery to nonpottery posts.
Keep up the great work, and much success to you!
REALLY like that yellow glaze.
ReplyDeleteHey John,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pic of the casserole in Amber Celadon.
Scott in Des Moines
good to see new ideas flowing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful glazes all of them , but I am a sucker for a great amber celedon. The yellow salt looks very much like the tests we did recently at ^6. Yellow salt is such a happy glaze, not fussy at all and everyone seems to love it.
ReplyDeletethanks for your post of the video showing your throwing of the pitcher! just what I needed to get focused for throwing again, myself, after 2 months of decorating....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Stumpy. Can anyone EVER be a "former picker"?
ReplyDeleteTracey, One thing I found sort of remarkable about that yellow glaze is how forgiving it seems to be. Even after I screened it THREE times through the finest mesh, it still was lumpy, and applied in a mess. But all that evened out in the firing. I could use a little stability like that in my life. I'm planning on making some more amorphous test pieces to try that glaze on in a totally different way. I think it will be an important part of this year's autumn pottery.
Ann, So nice to see your name here. I notice that you're now blogging. I'll be following your blog. Your newest work is, as usual, wonderful.
