The flashing slip is a mix of kaolins and ball clay, with feldspar and spodumene to help it melt and make it more receptive to the atmosphere of the kiln. If you applied it to a lighter-colored clay and fired it in a gas or electric kiln, it would be white, but on this dark clay in a wood-burning kiln, it pulls iron from the body and turns that lovely orange-to-brown color you see on the left side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1557454013352-3NR0C0JASNVNN4L5RJUS/IMG_5545.jpg Home - Squarish Bowl in Blue This was a hot firing and this glaze responds well to heat, showing curtains of rain-like effects and some nice carbon trapping at the rim. The bowl is taller and straighter than I normally make at this 6” size, so it’s more of a server than a soup bowl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1543373640699-P8DVRFOMC604AS4RU77Q/IMG_3976.jpg Home - Teacup or Sipper Copper glaze on B-Mix clay, 3.5” high, Soda chamber. Another small cup for Chinese tea or whiskey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1591843002284-P87YOOODNWFABL91KOA3/IMG_5929.jpg Home - Stoneware Cookie Jar Another one from the soda chamber, the Oribe-style copper glaze is performing all its tricks here. The flame path is right to left, and the dark wavy line gives a clue as to how it waves by in the kiln. You can put a couple dozen cookies in here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1594869003899-FRM49QP5AWAW9ML1GWO5/IMG_6027.jpg Home - Stoneware Vase with Oribe Glaze I sometimes forget how nice my glazes look on a darker clay body. The iron in the clay can really tone down the colors from how they appear on the porcelain. I rarely see such turquoise and flat olive greens like this on porcelain. Compare this glaze to the way it looks on the teabowl that is next in the gallery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1654812000567-9TBSEHH7CL9A0GO0PAJZ/IMG_7604.jpeg Home - Tea cup for Gong-fu Cha or Whiskey sipper. http://www.altoclayworks.com/classes-camps daily 0.75 2023-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1459094996816-UN8YKETAB53Y1Q7IPWBN/image-asset.png Classes & Camps http://www.altoclayworks.com/about daily 0.75 2017-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1514737965371-LCN1TV0KTMNTX874144V/schoolhouse+sepia.JPG About http://www.altoclayworks.com/contact daily 0.75 2017-12-31 http://www.altoclayworks.com/visit daily 0.75 2023-04-16 http://www.altoclayworks.com/shop daily 0.75 2019-05-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/545850e5e4b07e2441b28be9/1415328267064-522148NSAXLLD1U2JULQ/IMG_0516_2.jpg Pot Shop
