This piece proves to me, once again, that complexity and intrigue can be achieved in only one glaze firing. Most of my pieces go through multiple firings to help build surface treatment. This one managed it in one.

I really am very pleased with this one. Orange is a new stain for me, and I layered it “blind” so to speak in this round of firing. I had a good idea of the final outcome. But working with one or two unknowns drives my practice in unexpected and often exhilarating ways.

Opening the kiln is as much a treat as getting many gifts at once. It’s a thrill and sometimes a real big letdown. But with this round, it was a thrill.

This piece received a slightly different treatment than two others. I covered the base in white lithium glaze before the final coat of pepto-bismol-pink glaze (aka Amaco clear glaze, c04-c10 **wow**).

I am delighted with how my new surface explorations are going. This piece came out with so many new layers to explore, and a hearty crack down the middle. So it’s going to be my tile from all of this making. I’m excited to live with it and learn more.

Come see this and so many new tiles this Saturday at Richmond Art Museum’s annual Potterypalooza from 10a-4p!
