this is my only issue with glaze overlapping a bit it's the shino and the dark celedon, they just don't get on!!..there's bubbling or a coarseness everytime....have no clue why it does this....other than that about half a dozen bowls with this issue, the rest of the kiln load is great, some lovely carbon trapping, most of the refire were successful - oh and the 'elusive purple' stood up to it's name...can i say really happy ang..! and i hope there's something here you can enjoy...cheers all..
Beautiful colors, what a great firing. I have heard "shino first or suffer the curse" only thing I know.
ReplyDeleteHI Linda yep some really good colour, ooh thats a bit harsh but true, i think once you discover what works with shino dont mess with the firing...
ReplyDeleteReally scrumptious work Ang, you'll be really happy. I was interested with the glaze overlapping problem as I have had that too with shinos, but only where the shino was over the other glaze. One glaze test I did once blew two enormous connected bubbles when shino was over a tenmoko.. looked, dare I say it, just like a Dolly Parton bra (bless her)! Anyway, moving along, Teapot on the post before is terrific.
ReplyDeletehey peter, well that's helpful in the shino quest i was thinking if the green went over the outside rim a good amount i could just do the shino really close but not touching.. although that may cause the bowls to be cut a little strangely??HA...funny, thanks it's a couple of teapots refired with the green over a dud glaze, can't remember what it was but it looks kinda ashy now..
ReplyDeleteLovely pots.
ReplyDeleteI recently heard the phrase "Shino doesn't like underpants" and that helps me remember!
hey jerry, 'whaaaat', does that mean layering? shino doesn't like other glazes....? how anti social..i won't forget it now..!
ReplyDeleteShino will tolerate some glazes on top of it, but very few underneath of it. Hence, no underpants!
ReplyDeleteHmmm..."Commando Shino", short & rhymingly sweet!
mmmmm shino - lovely!
ReplyDeletehey H ahhh now i know what ya like..!no more blue bowls for you...
ReplyDeleteThe pots look great Ang and so does the viewing shelf your dad made for your tiles but how did you get so many photos grouped together and also I am impressed with your large format photos on the slide show, how do you do it?Photos finally posted for you to see.
ReplyDeletehey judith, blogger uses picasa to store the photos and the slideshow is done there too but jess reckons flicker is better, i might just give it a try..
