New Cone 6 Glaze Combination

This weekend I tried a new cone 6 glaze combination, Amaco's Chun Plum under Amaco's Iron Lustre. The combination came out a little bit different than what I was thinking it would turn out, but I like it. I think it will be a good holiday glaze due to the green and red nature of the glaze. Below are some pictures of an organic platter that was glazed with this combination.

I hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving!

Cone 6 Firing Part 2!

I just recently fired my second round of Cone 6 glazes in my kiln, and this round turned out exceptionally well. This entry is going to mainly focus on pictures of the pieces, if you have any questions about the firing, feel free to leave a comment. All pieces were fired with Amaco's Cone 6 glazes and are a combination of two glazes brushed on top of each other.
