Mame pots on a mini pottery wheel

[Deep Sea Diver]

They should be cool enough to get out of the kiln by noon tomorrow. I'm considering to take off work a couple hours to run down to pick them up.

Good Luck. I’m excited to see how these turn out!

@penumbra I kind of feel liberated after loading the pots in the kiln.

With sheer anticipation.......always like waiting for Christmas morning for me. Have you been naughty or nice?? It never gets old!!

I plead the 5th, lol

After months of working I finally get to see the fruits of my labor.....I'm pretty excited!

That is fabulous my friend. I am anxious to see more pictures. Really want to see the red pot with the Mayco Flux in the lower right. Hell, I want to see them all. The bottom center green pot looks like a charmer, nice feet.

The glazes on several pots were really a surprise. Seems they act different on different clay bodies. Some are really good......

"Magic Maker" aka Obsidian did extremely well!
Cinnabar is awesome it stayed put, no runs or drips!
Smokey Merlot glazed very well too.
Ancient Jasper didn't like the dark clay body.
June bug needs to be thick to produce the iridescence.
Blue Spark very nice.
White Crackle didn't like the dark clay body, but made an awesome bead glaze that is reproducible on that dark clay body. Very cool look and feel.
Blue Rutile very very nice!

So, so happy with the outcome. Now I'm ready to start making some new pots!

I'll take some pics out in the sun, the colors are really amazing.

I think I see a purple one lol, and the blue/green next to it looks nice.

 

[Pitoon]

There's two actually

Funny how I recognize most of the glazes even in this shot. Bet I could name most if I saw them in person. Your results with the glazes are very similar to my experiences with them as well.
The purple one Carol is looking at, is it Smokey Merlot with Blue Rutile? Second from upper right.
Man, makes me want to do some glazing.

You’re teasing us with “before” — as if there’s not enough anticipation!!!
