Coral Cup

Ah, matey! Dredged up something from the bottom of the ocean have we?
After the salt firing, some of the thinner threads of slip-coated fiberglass either burnt, melted, or dissolved away.

Celadon and Tenmoku Dinner Set

A dinnerware set I finished recently.
The glaze combination is an iron-rich Tenmoku Glaze applied over an Iron-Blue Celadon glaze. The celadon recipe I used was Elain Coleman's recipe as published in Ceramics Monthly.

Triaxial Blend

Finally, a published glaze test.
Interested in using natural materials, I've been experimenting with wood ash and clay from a local creek, and a feldspar (Canadian Nepheline Syenite).
My greatest surprise was in the tile in the bottom right corner, which had the largest percentage of nepheline syenite.
