I posted these up on facebook the other day.So apologies if you have already seen them!
I was pleased with how they came out of the kiln.
I had one favorite, the red flowers with yellow background, which ran and stuck to the kiln shelf.
I like it well enough that I just might keep it for awhile.
I have it sitting with some pots and it will hang okay.
I used cone 6 glazes on these and fired to just below a true 6.
This is a highwater clay body, red stone. It does not like to fire all the way to 6 so I keep it around 2185degrees- this hit about 2195 degrees at the top and 2181 at the bottom.
I have some cone 6 glazes which prefer to get a little hotter or soak a bit more.
I might separate those glazes from the tiles and pillow pots. I ended up with several flat bowls and trays which I would like to refire.
This was also the first firing in the new fancy computer kiln.
We both thought it did pretty well for the first glaze fire.
And I know the pictures are not great- so more apologies!
I hope you don't go blind from looking!

Oh Meredith, these are wonderful, I see why you like the red and yellow one, were you able to clean off the shelf fairly easily? I like them all but especially the blue and yellow one.
mmmm, nice!
beautiful pillows, particularly the second one down with red flower... lovely color combination
Fun stuff! Shoot, I wish the glaze hadn't run on you.
I like the ones with the brighter colors. Very cool.
I will plan to make these again. Sometimes pots need to be fun.
The shelf was easy to clean- I was more unhappy about breaking the feet!
Gorgeous - I missed these on FB!
