Great job Kitoi. I like the unintentional way the glaze has melted. Sure makes them unique pots.

Fantastic results from your experiments, I really like that blue glaze. Do you think the molten look is repeatable or just the luck of the firing? The carved rim looks really good, any chance of a photo from different angle so I can see the detail? Since I started playing with clay a few months ago I am looking more & more at the detailing of pots and have always liked your lines.

Can I be really cheeky and ask for the recipe for ...........

The Coconut flour muffins... That tray full of them looks sooooo yummy.... And everyone thought i wanted the glaze recipe :lol: :lol: That would be really nice too ;) :D :lol:

Look forward to seeing your next experiments,

Matt

Appreciate the kind words guys!

Will get some close ups later today.

You can't tell by the photo but the color is actually black with brown spots, similar to a Tenmoku glaze. Texture was expected to a course sandy finish but it melted, unexpected at 2167f.

3 more experiments
