First incursion into pottery

[barrosinc]

I made some glazed pots from stoneware.

Self learned from the internet... Lots to learn still



I start understanding how it works and how stuff looks after firing... I will start soon a new batch for next year's transplants.

I assume you aren't just putting your kitchen oven on self-clean to fire your pots, but you say nothing about the kiln you use (might you say something about it?).

But otherwise, nice stuff. Looks like you've found yet another way to have fun.

I don't fire them myself. The potter uses an electric kiln fired to 1230°C (cone 6-7)

It has been a fun trip. I just missed the repotting timeframe for this year

I quite like them. I'll assume the rustic quality was intentional. Regardless it works well! Impressive.

Basically based on noobness while glazing and lazyness of perfecting the smoothness while still wet. (I left them uncovered and tried to fast).

Crude, but your just starting out.

noobness

Understandable......

laziness

I get that way sometimes.....but you got that far just to slack on something pretty important.......we both need to work on that!!


Great start!!!

I never tried it and should have before my hands started acting up on me last year. No more precise work for me right now but I know your first try came out far better then mine would have - Cool

I reckon they are pretty cool, something I'd love to try out doing.

Cool stuff!
What's up with all that film?

The dinner table at home.
Probably a 1/3rd of those were mine, the rest I got from my photo lab. I do wedding photography www.barrosinc.com but film is only for my personal stuff.

It all started as will this work... now that I see the results I think I will get serious with it for spring 2018. (Missed the repotting frame by two weeks as all my trees have budded out already).

The first pot was supposed to go brown like the unglazed pots, so once it was fired to cone 6 and came back red I glazed it with the same as the other rectangular turquoise pot but it looks so different.
Just on cost of firing and clay and glaze, a large one ads up to 20 bucks or so. So it is way easier for me to invest some time than a fortune on a tokoname pot (which I do not discard in the near future).

It is easier than I thought. It is just a thing of giving each part of the process the time it needs. Cons: It is messy and drying these takes up space.

Wow awesome! Especially the first one!
That would be a cool addition to any pot collection!
Nice work dude. For a first time, this shit ain't bad at all! Go make more, I love it

I definitely need more of the brown clay
