jeff's large altered bowl... this was a re-fire from the last salt firing. it was very dry when it came out of the salt kiln and the 2nd firing really juiced it up!

i am heading back out to the studio and finish glazing so we can load this kiln up and fire it again... only three days to the Celebration of Seagrove of Potters!
LOOKING gorgeous Meesh!
ReplyDeleteAll that beautiful work in that little kiln you just built!? I gotta get me one of those, I love the results, very nice!!
ReplyDeleteI like the refire. I've got a bowl with some unmelted ash I need to refire. I wonder if cone 6 would melt it. It's in an ash glaze at the bottom.
ReplyDeletei have only re-fired things in cone 10 so i consulted jeff... he says give it a try, it can't hurt, but he can't guarantee results.
ReplyDeletetracy... my kiln in NH was almost 60 cubic feet and it took me forever to fill it after john died, even with jeff's help. i was working part time at pottery and full time at real estate. i think this small kiln will help me test glazes and lead me in the right direction. there are enough big wood/salt kilns in seagrove to satisfy that part of my work for now!
ReplyDeleteGreat results and nice re-fires. So quick you build a kiln and then get to fire, how wonderful.
