I forgot...
Apr. 20th, 2019 05:37 pmI had a rough last firing--huge amounts of oxidation, like a third of the kiln was bleached and white. Depressing as hell, packing four big boxes of seconds to stash at the back of the shed until next winter. It wasn't crippling--I already had enough pots for my next big show, Ceramic Showcase, from my January and February firings--but it was a huge amount of wasted effort.
One good thing did come out of the firing, though: my sculpture was in an area that was pretty solidly reduced, and came out very well. Here's a look at the finished piece. What do you think?

I'm thinking of naming it "When Calvin Met Pooh."
ETA: or maybe When Pooh Met Calvin?
