Glazing big pancheon pans I expected disaster, what a surprise I got, when pouring large amounts of glaze from pan to bucket disaster can be expected. mine will be stoneware but was generally earthenware and deeper called a bread or milk pan in American collector guides.

Such fun to see Brutus enjoying his new life and discovering the hose! Those big bowls are lovely with their unglazed exteriors.

🐶He loves it here but also has been well behaved considering his high activity level and has been responsive to my wants. New happy time for us both. Testing the glaze and decorative configurations on the 4 small bowls was key to determining how to go with the biggies.

Hi Jeff! Brutus seems to be adjusting well to his new home. I'm happy for you both! Glazing is one of the less glamorous parts of the process, and therefore doesn't get a lot of time in the spotlight. For us newbs, it can be a real challenge to master. So many choices to be made! Dip, pour or brush, how thick or thin, whether to layer, how to diagnose what caused glaze defects, and on, and on. It's good that you only had one crack with the stacking. I just finished a bisque load and managed to get away with only one crack (using porcelain, so that's a success in my book!) and I think that one was caused in trimming. However, I didn't put as much weight in the stack as you did, because the prior load I lost the bottom pieces to massive stress cracks from the weight they were supporting. This time, I did the bowls rim to rim and foot to foot in the center and fired the plates standing on their side, leaning them against the stack of bowls. I managed to bisque 8 dinner plates, 6 salad plates, 4 pasta bowls, 5 soup bowls a mug and a sugar bowl and lid in my little 18" kiln. A few small pieces were also inside of the bowls. I would not have been able to do this effectively without learning from people like you! I love the pottery community. Thanks for sharing all the things!

Thank you, Pat, I so enjoy 🐶your comments. I don't have the connections in the art world I once did. As a student, doing street markets, galleries, travel, the pipe sculpture workshop, you're that world now. I've only made 1 porcelain pot as a student pulled it out to show you in 1 of my 400 videos. Maybe I'll make some again, maybe. 🐶

the Puppy Apprentice is loving his new life. What a monster bisque stacking in that kiln, takes nerve ,mostly experience I reckon. Nice smooth glazing.

We're both loving it. Didn't think anyone would watch a bisque stacking but had to show off. Smooth glazing surprised me. In past the large bowls have been scalloped and the wavyness can throw the glaze unexpectedly everywhere.

Always nice to see your puppy have fun. The bowls look amazing. With the angle I couldn't tell if bisque pieces were actually touching the sides of the kiln. I like you style of researching the history and trying it yourself. It's a great idea. Happy potting

Evelyn. Nice hearing from you and about my fun new boy. Some do, I usually kind of avoid leaning against the side in a bisque. When I do no problem against the brick. I'd never let touch the elements and because of the expansion and shrinkage of the ware in firing I avoid where it could catch brick edge.

I don't know what is wrong with him. He is so happy and content with life. After being locked up, malnourished, no food or water the shelter was the best thing to ever happen to him. Then to find himself here, landing in paradise. We are both enjoying it.
