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 Run of Pots through the High Temp Firing
I've been waiting patiently for these pots to come out of the high temp kiln firing.
I didn't take pictures of the second load I prepared for the cone 10 firing, but hopefully those pieces got loaded into the same kiln run. My expectations for these first 20 or 30 pieces is just to get an understanding of how the glaze works. In particular, how much each type of glaze flows and how it sets up and pools. Hopefully they will come out nicely, but regardless I am confident they will make excellent vessels for capturing solar energy and growing some specialized plants.
