Here is a before and after picture of the tallest one.

 

 

 

This pot is compared below with another one pit-fired at a different time.

I hope you like them.

It was sunny, but cold, even in Arizona. Here is an overview.

When the bowl is fired some of the oxide colorants in the glaze dissolve in the glass and produce interesting effects. Here are some recent examples

Some of my work has been delivered to a local gallery and now it is time to get going on new work. Yesterday, I photographed some pieces before delivering them and my dog, Flynn, decided to check one of them out.

The wall is on the side of a mountain (4,500 ft.) in Arizona, so it has been snowed on from time to time as well. It was originally fired at cone 6. There is some crazing of the transparent glaze, but otherwise it seems to have survived the weathering very well.

They are all cone 6 oxidation and I am trying to copy some cone 10 reduction glazes used in the past. The blue is very close and now the green is almost there. My next effort is to get a reasonable cone 6 purple glaze. This is a bit more difficult, but I will keep trying. I like colorful glazes which seem to be fairly popular out here in Arizona
