I started a flicker page with the latest batch of pots.

I was really happy with how they turned out. One or two weren't that great but I loved the rest of them. Now it's back to the wheel to apply what I have learned.

NEW POTS 8-15-08
A few preliminary pics of the latest pots
more later after the kiln is unloaded.
most are either 4321 celedon with wax resist and some type of iron wash or iron bearing glaze dipped over. Right off the bat I am not happy with the unevenness on some of the oxide washes but on other the uneveness is fantastic... depends on the pot. The 2 tall slim necked bottles have temmoku dipped over and it just doesn't look all that great. I prefer the look of the iron wash but would like to find a way to make it more even.
Looks like I need an overglaze that is somewhere between straight iron oxide wash and temmoku glaze. Yeah! new things to test.
Some of the wax resist is hot wax while other is a cold resist from standard ceramic supply. That stuff is great (once you let it dry. don't be impatient)!!!!
More later
