Always practicing :)

My neighbor made me some fresh carrot juice

Brown pigment painted on before glazing, white slip fired on

Glazing, white tin glaze with Epsom salt in it. For some reason the salt turned the glaze gray?

Same tea bowls with slip made from cone 10 B-Mix clay

Tea bowls, the clay is a recipe that my pottery teacher used when she taught college ceramics. It will fire from cone 6-10. I will fire between cone 7 & 8. My husband and I made the clay.

Too small for the water container, but I am going to try to make them next.

Test glaze made from 50% 100 mesh red clay dirt from Harwood, Texas & 50% ashes from my neighbor's fire pit here in Moulton, Texas. I use to worry when my neighbor Suzie would burn in her fire pit, but now I rejoice because of all the collected ashes! There is also a small amount of bentonite in this glaze. Testing on the inside of a bowl to 2247 F.

I am going to try to throw 4 tea bowls every day.
