Here’s another quick peek… after I had taken off all of the door bricks! You can see the difference of before & after the soda firing! Some of the colors come from glazes & colored flashing slips, but a LOT of the magic comes from the soda-firing itself. Introducing soda ash & soda bicarbonate into the kiln creates this wonderful atmosphere inside the kiln that makes wonderful surfaces!
And look, you can still see the brick blocked peep on the right side above… and it now cleaned out below!
Perfect timing… as a LOT of these new pots will be making their way to the Hinsdale Fine Arts Fair this weekend!
