Lee; Great great Shino Noir, You've been busy!
How did you fire these? Much reduction, when?

Not heavy reduction, but I did introduce water. I think the
ball clay has some iron in it. I am refiring some, brushing thick,
white shino at the top, ala Matsuzaki.
Jean brought me a little present from Meugendo's: a namako
and temmoku glazed guinomi. Was supposed to cost $3.00, but she got it
as "service" (service means a thank you gift from the merchant.) There
are crystals in the namako.. It made me remember that Sander's had a
namako recipe I've been wanting to try. I've made about 125 tests for
this firing so far, but there is always room (if not time) for a couple
more tests. His recipe calls for rutile and ("Will Robinson,*Warning!
Warning!*") manganese. I will do the original but also test subbing a
lesser amount of iron for the manganese. You can see photos of the
guinomi here (in the background, lower left, is a photo of Sander's test):.
