The ^10 crystalline glazed pots. I used guidance provided by BrennaDeeCeramics in her webinar. I'll likely tweak the remaining crystalline glaze to get a different color and do one more firing before finishing this pursuit. #thistleglenpottery #pottersonbluesky #crystallineglaze #cone10 #mtlebanonpa
When you formulate a new ash glaze for high-fire oxidation firings and it looks lovely, but somehow it is all on the bottom! Haha. A little adjustment is needed.
I did use a drip tray anticipating this. And it did its job.

Altered bowls of various sizes. Some a porcelain/stoneware blend, others a porcelain/wild porcelain (Starworks) blend. I prefer bowls that are slightly altered with 3 finger swipes. These are ^10 clay and will go into a future wood kiln firing. #pottersofbluesky #thistleglenpottery #bowls #cone10
I am holding a green bowl I made in ceramics and in the background is my living room.
Holding a light robins egg blue colored bowl.
Holding a bronze with black, silver,copper speckled bowl I made in ceramics.
Holding a coaster I made in ceramics. It’s a green rim with glass that melted on the inside.
A small look at some of the pieces that came out of the #kiln today! This term went by so fast. I feel like I really pushed myself this term which I’m proud of but I definitely want to clown down this next one. Still happy with how they look 🥲

I donated this vase to the Fun Eye Fund- bidding starts at only 20$ and 100% of the proceeds go to them! The details of this shino reduction vase (and link) are on my instagram (hate it there!!) Opens at midnight tonight 🫶🏻 #pottery #ceramics #cone10
A mug made by a potter sits against a white background. Its texture is rough and scales like a crocodile or dragon- its hues are deep greens and oranges.

Leaning into the fantasy of my art- my self. This wheel thrown porcelain mug is fired to cone 10 reduction. Adorned with shino scales 🐉🔥🐊 #pottery #cone10 #dragon #ceramics #fantasyart
Shino glazed bowl with brushed turquoise accent. Though this is a “white” shino the colors range from bronze to deep burnished red

Occasionally, the kiln gets a bit too enthusiastic. We rely on pyrometric cones to monitor the heat inside the kiln. This particular area? 🔥🔥Cone 11🔥🔥 completely melted… that’s approximately 2,345°F. It got pretty intense in this section 😅

It’s a lot of work getting to this point—clay spun, glazed just right, loaded piece by piece. But then comes the anticipation… and that moment when we open the kiln doors and see what the fire gave us.

Pulled these out of Monday’s firing and just stood there staring. The crystals showed up big in sapphire + gold this time. Mondays are better with kiln openings.

An industrial kiln area with morning light peaking through. String lights are hung around poles- and several kilns are sitting on pavement.
Low light...mercury morning. 5 am never looked so good! 🪐 #cone10 #raku #ceramics #pottery

This piece is a conversation with my culture. The cactus—spined, unyielding—grows where little else can. The bird isn’t just flight; it’s the quiet defiance of borders. (1/2)

A open bucket of chemicals is shown with a deep rich mustard yellow mixture. The yellow glaze mixture in the bucket is complimented by the potters green shoes and brown pants.

I've been experimenting with different types of handles and sizes. I prefer the one finger loop for the index finger and a four finger broad handle. What number of fingers do you prefer for the fit of a handle?
