More teasers for the tile wall "quilt" I am making for the show "Crossroads."

All of the firing or using Western Raku methods(WR). This is where the pieces are rapidly heated, removed, placed in combustible organic materials which supplies thr environment for colors to emerge or smoke to enter the non-glazed areas.

The tile piece is named "My Depression in Blue"
Paper Clay- bisque fired 1x
Carbonate washes, fired 1x (WR) reduced in wood shavings
Glaze then applied, 3 different glazes used, then fired another time and reduced in wood shavings and paper.
