Oh my god!
Sorry everyone but I have run out of adjectives to properly describe the
glazes I've just seen.
Do your eyes a favor and give your heart a treat. Go to:

The pictures are Phenomenal! And I assure you these pictures do not do
justice to holding these
remarkable pieces in your own hands. Thanks Mel and Joe.

Enjoy.

Subject: more chinese pix

i have done an experimental firing of about
60 pots that did not turn color during their first
firing.
i added a bit of glaze and re/fired them to cone 12.
it was an amazing firing.
this is just the tip of the ice burg.
i do believe this is the best firing i have had.

joe is totally excited.

this was all oxy.
i pulled the damper and plugged the gap with
kaowool.
had a nice wind all day yesterday and it seemed to help.
the oxyprobe never read above 1-1.5

did a two hour fire down.

had some running, but it was to be expected.
just the way these glazes work.
