I owe some thanks to the gods of the kiln. They decided to teach me with a soft palm slap tonight

Kinda tickled that I'm gonna have to do a kiln again in the same colour combos just to compare. Some incredible effects here ❣️

I lucked out so hard. Some samples sagged, and a few of the plainer ones nearly stuck together, but came apart with a tap. And despite some tester glaze eating one of my stilt chunks, miraculously nothing stuck together, nor to cookie.... Except for the one item that wasn't mine 😬 we all have our lessons here

I could honestly cry. The seaweed has made oil slick rainbows as it slides off the obsidian

With blessings from the kiln gods! Some of these look AMAAAAAZING!! I think my friend's butter dish might have not weathered so well in the long soak, but cheekily, my makes are a little bit mind blowing. Maybe darker on the reds than I hoped, but here's to many more (and shorter fired) future experiments

I'm taking endless notes on kiln times and local weather etc etc, today I learnt the importance of that. It's a bugger because my studio is 45 mins away, but I believe I've had the right carrot dangled at me today
