This is my discontinued blue glazes, and applied to thick. Unfortunately it pours very slowly.
Interior of one of sagger did not hold up during the firing, and shot up pieces into a bowl and surroundings. I believe this is fifth firing of this sagger, and others show crack as well. I need to find better clay recipe for the sagger. Does any one know a good recipe?
I decided not fire the kiln today, that means there is no way to fire 3 time in 8days. I finished loading the kiln yesterday, ready to go. But looking at the weather map, and expecting lots of thunderstorm, and the remaining pieces for another firing (mostly duplicates), I stayed home and took naps almost all day! If I go to the show already tired, my grumpy face scares away the customers. I learned several years ago. Turned out, there were several thunderstorm passing through with winds, so I made a good decision. I will fire tomorrow, and pack potteries with plenty of time this week.
Getting ready for the Elmwood festival next weekend. I realized I mis-caluculated the date to the festival. I have not fired the kiln after the two shows, and really needs pots! I have finished the first firing on Wednesday, and now bisquing today. I will glaze tomorrow getting ready for the glaze firing on Sunday, then Wednesday. That is the schedule. I got tired today, and came home early. A set-back.. But, much needed rest. I feel like I really did not have a real day off this summer. Good news is that heatwaves were the past and it starts to fell the fall, so the studio is not that hot like three weeks ago.
