Pictures for yesterday's post

As promised here are the pics that I promised to go along with yesterday's post.


Tankards with slip on them, I did get to them in time.


Yarn bowls the second from the right has a double "J" cut.


Slipped mugs.


A candle holder with a honeycomb rim and a star cutout.


I am running some glaze tests with the local clay. I am very hopeful that I can use it to get a nice amber glaze.  These tiles are simply testing the local clay and boron frit (stable borax).

 Bisque kiln loaded



These are a couple of insulating firebricks that I made. They are unlikely to fire completely this high up in the kiln but they should fire enough so that they won't absorb water, and the sawdust that is mixed into the clay should burn out all the way. These are going to end up as part of the internal flue for the kiln.

I will post pics of the after firing and the glaze load that I am doing on Thursday sometime on Friday.
