I’ve been working hard this week, looking at all I’ve been working hard this week, looking at all the pots I’ve thrown to decide on what’s going on my website update. I like to experiment with different glaze combinations, which leads to many many pots that aren’t quite right. But I’m also sometimes pleasantly surprised by a glaze combination, like the first one- it’s definitely one of my favourites. In a shared gas kiln, the results can vary widely in different firings, where in the kiln the pot is placed and what’s next to it. I think that’s the magic of the gas kiln, but also can be frustrating if you’re looking for consistent results!
