Loading the kiln 1 13

After a long time the kiln was loaded today.
This time only dark stone-surface pots will be fired.
Together with the pots 40 tiles with glazetests and a few "quicktests" were placed in the kiln.

We can't wait to open the kiln in a few days.

"Sir yes Sir...."
Our little glaze-soldiers.

Lights in the night ...

It has been snowing a lot more and I took the chance for a picture by night.

Winter is back ...

Just only to show ...

Cascade 21212

Here's another very free and loosely thrown cascade.
The clay is rather dry and has been thrown, chattered and transformed at the highest wheelspeed.
The final result can only be imagined not seen.
This helps to bring in as much coincidence as possible. How wonderfull unpredictable.
I'm really pleased with the result!
