Here is a video of pots from yesterdays unloading. Many of these pots you have seen getting made and/or decorated over the past week or so.

I'm disappointed that the amber glaze had problems. Most of the bubbles are on the backs of the dishes. I'll mark them down and sell them as seconds. Still nice pots. I'm going to run some tests with a different recipe over the next few firings and also try applying it by brushing. These low fire glazes are so finicky. I'd be happy moving up a few cones if the glazes would behave and provided I didn't loose too much of the redness of the clay body.
I'm looking forward to getting back to making next week. I'll be throwing more bowls with tall feet and I'd like to get back to experimenting with some box shapes. The boxes are challenging in both the making and getting the deco on them. I have also been drawing some vase shapes that I'll try.
All for now, thanks for checking in.
