High Fire fire.....

The Cone 5 firing came out very nicely. One pot had a glaze than ran a lot, but it was fortunately placed one of the kiln shelves that had been most recently and thickly covered with kiln wash, so it did exactly what it is supposed to. The glaze ran onto the kiln shelf, but as the shelf cooled, the pot just popped loose from the shelf, so the owner of that pot can just grind down the glaze edge, and the pot looked great. All the pots look great - I think it is a very successful kiln. Once again, credit to the students who worked carefully to create successful pots. I'll post a couple pictures in a minute here. My celadon glazes dragonfly bowls and cups look great. The experimental Coyote Clay shino glazes are all also very nice.
