You gotta do sumpin' to attach the pot to the wheel before you start to trim...and the rim on that pot looks pretty thin...guessin' you're a newbie?

This is a sample of my latest firing. The purple in the lids of the urns is apparently from the reflection of the wall behind the group. All glazes are Amaco Potter's Choice and Obsidian Celadon in layers fired to ^6. The mug in the front is actually a single firing (no bisque) which was successful. my next glaze firing will be a bunch of test tiles using the same glazes fired to ^5.

What cone did you bisque to? Looks like too heavy a coat that dried too quickly...
-
Am interesting, almost "crystalline" look, Marcia...what process did you use to accomplish the effect?

Cool look overall...but I find the unglazed portion at the bottom less than pleasing. Would it be possible with your glaze combo to bring one of the glazes to near the bottom without having it run?
-
Beautiful work, Marcia...What is the size of the piece? Is it 6" or 16"?
-
Very nice look, Andrea...kinda Oriental...

Nice work Johnny.
It has been an interesting journey because Mark works with ^10 porcelain and I'm working with ^5 B-Mix and Amaco Potter's Choice. I have a couple of his pieces and am trying to emulate his style...

Really nice reds!
-
The great takeaway from this experiment is that it is of paramount importance to know what color the clay is going to be at the final firing so that you have a better idea of how to go about glazing the pieces since their final color will be affected by the base color of the clay at cone...
Thanks, nerd!

Excellent...I just love it!
-
Would you be willing to share the process you used to get such a beautiful lamp?
-
Do the glazes on these mugs come in flavors? They look like I would want to lick the frosting off them...Great Job, Callie!

Really nice pots, Celia! I particularly like the tile with the copper highlights...

What glazes & application methods did you use to achieve such a fantastic result?
-
Great concept...is the dip bowl affixed to the platter?
-
I like the combo of glazes...are you mixing your own or are they commercial glazes?
-
I wondered why there was no spoon hole...Great idea, Pres!
-
I love the cloudy, turbulence you've achieved here!

Hi Marcia,
I'm currently taking a Raku class at Sierra College in Rocklin, CA and have been inspired by your work since I joined the forum. We will do a sagger firing in the next couple of weeks and I find this collection of photos particularly interesting. Where can I find more of your work along with descriptions of the techniques and materials you use to come up with the outcomes that you show here?
I am also fascinated by the Raku work you do with horse images. I have a friend who has been supplying me with horse manure for my small farm over the past year and as a gift of appreciation, I'd like to give her a horsehair raku pot made with some of the hair she save from a horse she had for 25 years and lost last April. What technique do you use to get the horse images on your pots and tiles?
Thanks for your consideration and inspiration,
JohnnyK

I like the wavy handle...I'll try it on my next mug!
