Garlic Jar and Honey Pots

More new work, glazed in Spodumene (top) and Oribe (green) and fired in the studio’s gas kiln. The Oribe didn’t work out so well in the beginning. The glaze may have been too thin when I put it on, because the surface was rough and dry when fired – not the sensation I was looking for when picked up and held in my hands. Thinking I could fix the problem, I reglazed the pots in a clear glaze at home, then fired them to Cone 6 in my electric kiln. The result was better and the color fantastic, but the inside walls crumbled for some reason. Next week I’m going to show the pots to my glaze chemistry teacher in hopes of getting some advice on how to repeat the experiment with another piece. I’d like to see if I can get the same “teal glow” without the crumbing next time.
