My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

First Load Out of the High Firing Kiln Run - Small Flower Vase for La
On Saturday I picked up a bunch of pieces from the Hickam Arts and Crafts Center - a little more than half of the group I had glazed emerged from the kiln. I'll post info on some of the ones I like (not really for you all out there who may be reading this, but mainly for me so when I am at the ceramics shop and need to remember what glaze I used, I can just jump back here). For starters, here is a small flower vase I made for La.
Soldate clay. Pinched round body that I flattened with a rice scoop. I painted on the McKenzie Celadon glaze. I was a little worried that the glaze would run at Cone 10, but it is super stable and did not run one bit. I even felt that the three coats was rather thick - but as you can see it thinned out considerably and hugged the vase shape tightly (even on the underside!!!).
Already in use!!!!
