Normally my pieces with mixed clays behave like expect. However, this beast was special. At cone 12, the egg popped out its mouth, rolled across the shelf, and into the coal bed.
I was crushed when I unloaded the #trainkiln and saw it missing. I didn’t realize it would be intact and perfect!

Shino Chawan with Ash glaze accents. Woodfired to cone 8. The atmosphere in the kiln really brings out the characteristic of the shino and the wild clay body.

Also my first ever wood firing :D

Second shift! Much busier. I was lucky enough to be here for the lighting of the kiln and for sealing it up! All kinds of magic and alchemy happening in that red-hot belly....
