You never know what you're going to get in a saggar pit fired work. This came out blackened after the pit firing and I decided to re-bisque. Once the carbon burns away some colors come out to play. Mica terra sigillata, banana peel, Himalayan salt, Epsom salt, ferric chloride, and some other things

More decisions...

I'm having difficulty selecting which ones to enter for an upcoming gallery exhibit... I can only choose 5...

Making work for the upcoming Woodfire Workshop in May a Queen City Clay. 🔥🔥🔥

I've had these colors on my mind and finally put them to paper in a composition of idea blocks. I've got cubed sculptures on my mind for future work.

Meerkats in Xanadu (you'll have that song stuck on your head all day now😂🛼)...Breaking from wheel throwing today and having fun making meerkats. 😂😁

Faceting and stretching the clay today! I'm in love with that texture!

Finished the final carved details after adding some stamped slabs of texture. This one feels like it should be called, 'Ostara'. It was a fun and joyous raku clay make. Drying and waiting for bisque fire.

Stoneware Mugs

Cone 10 gas fired, reduction

They all turned out nicely! 🌞🌀🔥

Finding peace inside chaos...

Small stacks to make larger work! It's been awhile since I've thrown larger, but want to start out smaller and hope to share this with teen wheel in the upcoming class session.

Saved 2 mugs with my Diamond Core grinding discs! ❤️☕🌞🌀🔥

It was time to smash and try again. There was too much glaze run damage to the bottoms. Beautiful glaze, but try again! 🤣😂🤪😎🔥🌀☕

Glazed and ready to go in the gas kiln. Cone 10 bound! Base is oribe green with a dip in rutile for the top layer.

Hands back in the clay! ❤️🌀🌞🔥
