My Pottery Work




The first picture is of a vase, for me, it came out pretty good. The second  is 3 plaques, hanging in my bathroom. I have more plaques, only if I had the room to hang them. Wife might object to that. The 3rd is of a kiln guard. When he is on top of the kiln, do NOT open the kiln. Check the temperature of the inside, by looking at the digital temperature gauge in front  of the kiln first. It has to be around 70 degrees, before opening it. The temp inside the kiln can go up to 2100 degrees. That temperature is needed to glaze fire . For bisque fire, you need 1800 degrees. The bottom picture is of various  pieces. I made the vase in the first picture, the other pieces were made by my wife. All of them were made in July/August 2013.
