runny green ash...


And here they be 2 large pots going into the Campbelltown Art Show today plus a lovely shino platter....
Both pots shrunk about 5cm in their glaze firing, It's always sad to see big pots shrink before your eyes...that must be 20% or more since the wet state.. oh well need a bigger kiln to make bigger pots I suppose...

This is the setup yesterday agin it kept changing as the work I shot got smaller and the tweeking of the light setup changed...not sure how to combat the light reflecting back off the white surface other than a matt spray and more lights..


So off to deliver this work and a busy 2 days left before I leave :))

  7. Love the runny glaze and the strong forms (especially the first one which is narrower lower down). I guess we are lucky that the pots don't grow 20% in the kiln... imagine the problems allowing for that when packing it! Ooops, there goes another kiln roof, blown up by the expanding pots!

    Have a great trip to the States.
