Thanks Rory... everyone has been asking for larger! Now we have a kiln capable of firing larger pots so yes they are coming! :D

Nice.
I particularly like the look of that cascade pot.
I bought a couple of small Marg Fenn pots a few weeks back and am very happy with my purchase. :yes:

In my opinion. This texture is :yes:

I feel that pot would be amazing without the glaze. Just make the whole pot with this texture on the bottom, including the feet and it will be an absolute ripper. It doesn't need any glaze. Just make the whole pot this texture and you're onto a winner. And if you made it bigger and round, it would certainly tempt me too. Great rough texture of it... :hooray:

I second the above - this is pretty much the texture I am after for my Radiata I have been PM'ing you about. I love the glaze too and would be fantastic with a liquid ambar or something similar.

No time to get good photos this week! But here's a sneaky peak at what came out of the last firing. This should all be available at the VNBC sale day tomorrow! :D

Looking great, can't wait to own a few of these and see what Marg comes up with next.

The large drum pot on the bottom of the pile in the bottom right corner of the first photo, is that glazed? Looks kinda purplish in the photo, but could be the lighting. Id like to see this closer :fc:

That pot is actually an oval I think - its more of a charcoal color with a slight metallic sheen to it. Its not really a glaze but an iron oxide wash.
