Experimental Kiln Opening.....no idea what is going to come out of this firing!
So this one is an exciting one for me as its full of firsts.
Tried to attempt a bubble Glaze..
Made and used Glaze Chips for the first time...thinking it may be a mucky brown splodge!
Tried a simple peacock effect with flux and Stoke and coat - first time using stroke and coat!
Tried peacock effect on test tiles ..... lots of them. All test tiles and what glazes were used will be uploaded into my Instagram page farforestceramicsglazetests soon.
Playing around making luminaire Xmas trees, wheel thrown and baffled how to position them in the kiln to save drips onto shelf.
So much to go wrong and also so much to go right. LOVE the not knowing and wondering what it will turn out like.
Also had my georgous Mum and Dad join me for this opening, their first, and it was a special shared experience for us all I will treasure.
Hope you enjoy.
Apologies for my screaming and this time also tears 😢
Still loving my journey and so many ideas and inspiration and never enough time to play clay! But OMG how amazing is it!!!
All pieces will be uploaded to my main Instagram account with details of glazes used and techniques if you are interested to see. farforestceramics
