Andy,

I arrived Saturday beginning afternoon and i will be there for two days.

Hi Andy,

A little tip for what it's worth...... when creating the 'twisted' feet remember to twist 2 in one direction and the other 2 in the opposite direction so that when placed on the base of the pot they point outwards in different directions. This gives a better visual balance to the pot.

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Dan

Many thanks for the tip I will try it out on the next pot I do with twisty feet

All the best

Andy

Very nice pots indeed Andy!

This is a very good point Dan. When I make mine, I twist in the same direction on the board or table, but when I attach them I orient them in this fashion to get the same effect that you mentioned.

Thanks,

Here are a few pots that came from the kiln last night. I never realised until after I loaded the kiln that there was not one single glazed pot in the bunch. All unglazed "Au Natural" Look forward to seeing you if your at the Swindon Winter Image Show this weekend













Many thanks for looking

All the best

Andy

Phew back from France all sorted now and back on my feet in the studio and getting on with some firing. Here are a few that came out the mouth of the kiln this weekend gone.

An unglazed Lotus style


Experimental glaze double fired


I love this tourquoise glaze, comes out quite varied in the gas kiln and very very matt

the middle one is fantastic , what size is it ?

Tim

I will check the measurements and get back to you. Its shohin sized so approx 10cm diameter by about the same deep

Regards

Andy

This one is one of my favorite glazes. The crackle usually comes out quite small but this time the cracks were large


The glaze on this one pooled nicely at the bottom above the feet


An unglazed shohin rectangle with high feet

Very nice Andy, very nice!

I really like the yellow from the glaze that pooled

Thanks for sharing!
Rob

Best regards
Peter
