Emptied the last soda kiln of the season! It’s the best batch I’ve had so far!

Teeny tiny #sodafired bowls for trinkets.

This morning’s cup of tea. Swirled white and black clays turn to many shades if brown.

Do you know what causes the difference in the sound? #pottery

Over the next few weeks, I have ceramic rattles shaped like pods coming out of several kilns. I used mocha diffusion and underglaze transfer to design these pieces. #ceramics #pottery #YQG

Soda fired cup. White slip poured over speckled clay, carved with flashing slip.

Just a little 10lb sgraffito bowl.

A soda-fired vase from the last kiln. Carved with a blue-green flashing slip.

My most recent pitcher. I am really happy with the shape and carving on this piece, but I don’t plan to keep using the speckled clay in the soda kiln. #sodafired #pottery

The joy of the soda kiln. The more I look at this piece the more I like it. At first I was disappointed because most of this piece is very dark grey, but I love this side. It’s growing on me.

A month ago Ford City Potters had a party and threw 10lb wide bowls. Mine is finally bisqued. I made the mistake of getting attached and now I am nervous to glaze it. I’m thinking of using a pear green glaze that reacts with the black slip.
