layer upon layer

here's the results of saturdays firing, some great layering in glazes and  some lovely details like iron flecks and salts from the shino..

I gave up around 12.30am sunday as the day was a long one and possibly another hour or more was needed to reach c10 and a a result the chuns didn't reach anywhere near what they should be. .

so there will be some refiring for those pieces and surprise surprise mugs!! i don't usually do the mug but all that teapot making must have sparked a burst of muggage  energy.....and much bigger handles after getting a doug fitch and a ron philbeck in my hands....

well the firing was long and perhaps the alterations to the flue affected the firing or maybe just running low on gas, we did start later than usual as kevin wanted to check the gas lines, thanks so much for all your assistance kevin.. you da man! 

and the dark celedon and shino came out a treat, the perfect purples even showed some colour, the barrels again distorted so i need to address that in the making or glazing stage to fire them together.. 

overall good results and filled every space available even the walls again and lovely results down there.. and the mortar and pestles look yum..
