Celedon bowl

I enjoyed doing the carving on the leather hard clay to get the design on this 8" bowl.

The Celedon green glaze is not as vibrant as I wanted, probably because my clay isn't porcelain.
I have never been able to throw with porcelain, but got some porcelain "like" clay to try next time I want to get a richer green.

copper red tea cups with lids

The lids keep the tea hot while steeping, and then they turn over to receive the tea bag.

Red is a very hard color to get, and hard to control. You can see where the kiln didn't reduce enough on one side of the cups to turn it to red. But, I kind of like the combination. The red is so nice on the side that the white just sets it off.

I really like this combination of glazes. I love the throwing process and find glazing to be very challenging. This one worked, but I have several really bad ones.
