Stoneware glaze firing in the kiln, sgraffito tiles

How I make my "kiln cookies" to protect the kiln shelves from glaze drips when firing ceramics! :] Especially when making some weird experiment or using a new glaze.

Bird group pic! Most of these will be gifts for my huge ass family (thankfully nothing bad happened in the kiln because I have not bought *anyone* Christmas gifts)

A quick look at what I put on the bottoms-

Each sculpture has my signature, which is this funky little symbol thing I've been using since middle school. (It's my old nickname written in a cypher I made up in the sixth grade.)

They also get the year, and a number that helps me keep track of them in my glaze notebook.

Four whistles I sculpted! They each have a cool unique tone. I think the swirly orange one is my favorite.

Cosmic Tea Dust:

The sparkle!

The glamour!

Love it.

Temmoku!

Everything that is just plain temmoku turned out super gorgeous!

I wish I'd done even more with this.

Croc Blue: It did not turn out blue for the most part.

Most of the pieces turned out a kind of dreary dark gray.

I do love a good gray, but, I'm giving most of these birds out for Christmas, so I was hoping for a more colorful assemblage for the relatives.

Though they ended up with this cool 'raindrops on car windows' pattern.

I did get a couple pieces where the blue shows thru really well though! (And it looks a lot nicer in person)
