Out of the last firing (see the former entry) there were numerous pieces that turned out well enough that I was pleased with them. Unfortunately, there were a few pieces that were on the ugly side and one piece in particular that was bad, bad and bad!
Here are a couple pots that fall in the Good column.
Here are two for the Ugly column.
And here is a pot that is going make me get out the grinder. I used a glaze (a fake ash glaze that isn't "fake" in that it contains actual ash as part of the ingredients) which runs off pots made with smoother clays. This was a fact that I had forgotten and now the Bad pot is affixed onto the kiln shelf. You can see how the glaze has pooled at the base of the urn.
Alas, the Bad. Get out the electric grinder, respirator and eye protecting goggles and hope the shelf isn't ruined.
Even the "ugly" ones are still kind of cool!
