wood firing

I made the vase on the right side. this is my family project and it is called marraige. this is two vases held together by a metal plate and some screws. so the two vases are stuck together just like when you say i do and put on that ring. i am very happy with the color that cam out of the wood firing. it looks great!!!!!!!! i love it

I am exciting for tomorrow beacuse they are unloading th kiln. Hopefully my project is fine. I put this picture of my last projects that came out of the wood firing. They turned out great and hopefully these ones will turn out good as well.

Making my t-pots better

I want to make my tea pot look more like this. I want to add more color to it. I feel like it is more interesting to. I tend to like to use my black gun metal glass. I feel like that is a good glaze to use but i want to make my work with alot of different of firings. When you add color it makes it look more realistic and makes it more interesting to look at. I also like how the blue looks with the black. i made a mask in class last year and i likes how that turned out mayeb i will have to do something like that again. if anyone has any thought of what glazes would look good with my industrial t-pot/ vessels just tell me
