Throwing more high fire cone 10 for the wood fire workshop...this piece collapsed near the bottom so I hung it upside down to dry and expose the foot.
Opening the kiln last night it was immediately evident that thinning the glazes has been a double edged sword. The principal brown glaze I applied to most of the pots is thin enough to feature the black spoting from manganese in the clay body but the accent colors are weak and will be better with additional coats.
These were glazed for the last firing but I couldn't fit them. I actually scrubbed off quite a bit of the glaze before firing them having learned something from the previous firing. Nonetheless, I could have taken even more.
