Notes I would make to me after this firing:
Front stack top and bottom cone went down very close to one another.
Black glaze a bit on the thick size.
Top ash glaze a bit on the thin side.
Note- add some water to the black glaze.
Take some water off of the ash glaze.
Note to self- are you crazy making buttons again?
Well, I am sewing and I need some clay buttons...crazy, yes.
Note:
When making tall pots and there are not enough fillers of the right size you help bring the space up by placing smaller pots on bricks.
Overall- a good fire.
Now get those orders ready to go.
Cheers,

Those blue black lamps are AMAZING.
ReplyDeletethanks Anna they are really pretty in person. So are the wood ash ones- I need one!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it could be a poster for Whynot Pottery! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! this is inspiring me to get back in the studio after a few weeks away...
ReplyDeleteSo purdy:)
ReplyDeleteClay buttons are awesome!
Wow!! What a great firing. I am still a beginner in so many ways and putting small pots on a brick...well, great idea!! So thanks for sharing your notes :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a beautiful firing, that might be another note to make to yourself. I like the tip about putting smaller pots on bricks, I'm sure I'll have to use that one day.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good firing, Meredith. I've made clay buttons in the past. In fact, I think there is a cup full of them somewhere in the studio. Only found one friend who would use them. But mine are no doubt inferior to yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm about at cone 9 right now, so only an hour or so left before I shut down.
