2009-04-21 Tuesday New Pots

I have finally taken some pictures of some finished pots. These pots were fired in the last two ^10 gas firings. I will try to post some of the others as time permits.

This is the pot with the sutures
that I sprayed with oxides:
iron, copper, rutile, and cobalt
(alfred blue glaze).

Spotted shino with alfred blue.

Last session firing I

This is one of my pots from the last firing of the previous class session. It is made of orangestone clay, stands nine inches tall, and was fired in cone 10 reduction. Unfortunately I didn't make any notes on the glazes I used, but the top glaze is yanagahara white and I believe the base glaze is temoku.

This was an experimental pot since I was extremely angry when I threw it. I won't go into the whole story, but I was two blocks away at the arena and decided to see if I could channel my anger into some creative outlet. It worked pretty well since I came to the studio, threw three pots with lids and cleaned everything up inside of two hours. The only problem with my anger driving the process was that I threw it a bit heavy.

I'll post more as I get them photographed.
