Today’s “this or that” features an blue lavender glaze. This one also had very different reactions to the cooler/hotter firing.
Which one do you like best?

Let’s play a game of “this or that?”

Each plate is exactly the same. Same clay same glaze they were fired in the same bisque. The difference is one was fired hotter/cooler than the other.

Which one do you like best?

Yeah, I’m grooving on these!! It’s a single glaze over that rich red stoneware.😍

A small plate in Pepperstone. I really love the automatic vintage vibe this glaze gives. So posh!

There will definitely be more cups in the next kiln, but these are it for now!

The cups were few in this firing, but I really love the minty metallic sheen this cup has.

Testing is a critical part of a ceramics practice! And so is learning to let go when something didn’t work.

I am in a new space with new light and figuring out where I packed my dang _____. 😆 (Honestly it fill-in-the-blank because there are too many things I am still looking for!)

Creamy Matte on a red stoneware clay is a sweet combo!

I am fairly happy with this cup, the variations in the glaze is really nice.

The last few seconds of loading and firing my kiln and the first few after the kiln is cool enough to open.

8 colors x 5 plate shapes plus 31 test tiles equals a full kiln! Can’t wait! I’ll have lovelies to share in a couple days ☺️

After bisque is sanded and rinsed it gets a day to dry and then the bottoms get waxed.

Really love this phase of making
#handmadepottery Bisque is the best!😍

Finishing the edges. I’m happily making so much work. I’m expecting at least 3 glaze loads out of this one bisque. And I have high hopes that I will be able to run that 1st bisque in a week! Just waiting on ventilation.
