Firing from yesterday, new bowls and cups

This is the glaze firing with the glaze for the forms of my last blog.  I was very pleased with the results. Nice dark rich color without glazes, just three clay bodies and burnished.

Some bisque fire and some glaze fired

Bisque fired bowl waiting for cone 6 fire,  but I will fire without glazes.


and a tray with new texture, note the layers in the edge.  My process of layering 3 clays and mallet hammering and folding approx. 12 plus layers in the final 1/8" slab. Fired with oxides at cone 6.

Some work in Progress

I've been continuing on my multi-clay venture with several cups and a nice thin bowl to be fired this week.

3 clays in the mix then oxides after bisk fire. No outside glazes, but burnished at soft leather hard stage.
