Glaze porn

Glorious Glaze!

It's been a while since I showed some glaze porn. We had an excellent gas kiln firing at the studio this weekend and Maryanne and I had some killer pieces come out of it. For those new to my blog, I collaborate on a line of pottery with my friend/mentor, Maryanne White. She throws the pieces and I glaze them.

Glorious Glaze!

I can't get enough of this red combination, though I will admit that I hold my breath EVERY firing. This combination of glazes is very tricky, very runny, and has been known to adhere itself to the kiln shelves on more than one occasion (not my fault, of course....cough cough..)

Glorious Glaze!

I especially love the turquoise spots that sometimes peak through the red. It's never a sure thing so I get pretty giddy with it happens.

Glorious Glaze!

I call these small dishes Bead Trays. Maryanne doesn't call them that but that is what I use them for. They work perfectly for sorting beads. The corners act like funnels when pouring the beads back into a storage container. Cool, right? I keep telling her to make more so that I can offer some to my beady friends. :)

Glorious Glaze!

This final shot is a dreamy closeup of the inside of a bowl. It looks like an island in a sea of melted strawberry ice cream. Yum! :)
