imagine that! When we unloaded I had mixed emotions. The shino had a lot of carbon trapping, which I usually embrace. This time, it wasn't the carbon trapping that I love. Don't get me wrong, there were some nice effects. They just weren't on my pots. I also had some shino crawl on the inside of ginkgo leaf carved mugs. Why is it alway the labor intensive stuff that persnickety shino decides to misbehave on? I really only got a quick look at pots tonight, after a day of working at the Co-op. I may fall in love with others by the light of day. Here are a few down and dirty shots that I took tonight...
I am happy with the ginkgo leaf mugs that didn't have glaze crawl!
I would really like some opinions on the shino/tenmoku slab plates. Jeff really likes them and I made "a face" when they came out of the kiln... still not sure what I was expecting. After all, I do know what shino and tenmoku look like.
I'm drawn to the geometric shaped plates. You've reminded me of my college days even the gas kilns were hit and miss there.
ReplyDeleteThe design is clean, and well executed...colors work well together...and the light dusting of ash is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeff, the slab plates are beautiful! I like them very much. Take some time with them today and let them woo you ;)
ReplyDeleteNice I love the warm tones to these, the ginkgo mug is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeff, these plates are beautiful. The face you should have made when you saw them was a smile but that doesn't always happen when we first look at a piece. Put them in front of some customers and you won't get to look at them for very long, they will go home with someone.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I like square plates and round plates, not so much geometric shapes. My brain has to see things in pattern and order and food on a geometric plate unsettles me. And when they are stacked on a shelf I think they look odd. But that's my personal issue :)
ReplyDeleteI like shino and temoku together, but I am a fan of brown pottery so of course I would like that!
ps: I like the mugs best of all :) :)
ReplyDeleteplates look PERFECT to me!
