In charge of a raku firing that went very well today. No bubbles in the glaze and we had some sawdust laying around for the reduction. You can see how glassy the pieces look when we opened the kiln-that's a good sign. No cracked or chipped pots either. I've been meaning to make some pipe rests and stands for months now but there always seems to be something else around to grab my attention. Any ideas for designs? Bare in mind the pieces shrink about 13% in the bisque firing so it's difficult to make anything perfectly fit a certain pipe.
This funny pot turned out to be a pretty good wind instrument lol.
