I only have a few pics to show you today, because it was dark when the kiln finished and I haven't had much time to check everything out yet.
The first pic below shows just how wrong things went:
So both vases were ruined. However, the glaze looks really good. It was created when I poured a copper glaze and a manganese glaze over the large vase. They have combined in the firing and created the swirly blue-green effect as you can see. I'll take some better pics tomorrow of this and the large vase so that you can see just how stupid I have been.
This next pic shows one of the beakers from a set of six. These came out of the kiln looking very nice. They had been sat around for some time waiting to be glazed because they were made for a spouted pitcher which was damaged when another pot exploded in the kiln before Christmas (see earlier posts) and because of this I had no reason to glaze them until I had spare space in the kiln.
That's all for today. As a mentioned I haven't had time to check everything yet, but I didn't want to let you down and not share the results. I'll post more pics tomorrow, which I hope will be of better quality (it was too dark to get any properly focused pics tonight, without using the flash).
Thanks for visiting.
That's amazing that the glaze jumped 2 inches. The color is pretty. The glaze on the beaker is very nice too. Did you fire the Terra Sig?
