Saturation gold is gorgeous when it works. Love the heart bowl pretty in pink. Rainforest looks ok I think it just doesn’t go w the deep sea. Love the inside n octopus texture. U could refire w deep sea over rf could be pretty. Sell the plate w a cheese knife. Pretty! The blue bowls r drippy gorgeous. Omgggg the pink ones glorious!!! I need to turn Freddy up when he’s better. Did u forget cones? That’s a great idea raising pots w dots. Oh the flower mug is so cute!! Ugh the bloat I wonder if it fired hot w all the running u got. Love yr turtle mugs. Determined to repeat mine. Fairy rose n amathyst would b so pretty together. Awwww thanks for the finger shout out sweetie!!!!

Hi Karen. Thanks for sharing your glaze combos and ideas. Your work is really lovley. Sorry to hear about the bumps from the clay. Look forwards to seeing your future videos.

@@fionabryant2311 thank you Fiona!

Well done. With the hydrangea bowl, it’s gorgeous. Love the heart bowl, sooo pretty. You’ll have to share what the octopus ball is. The pattern is great. Love the blue noodle bowl cute idea with mini me bowl. Flower mug is sweet. Ugh shame about the bloat. I have about 10 bags of clay still to use from the same batch that Nat had bloat issues with but Keanes denied anything was wrong. Love the turtle mug. Great kiln unload Karen. 😍

@@Tjsclaycreations nawww, thanks Trace! The octopus ball is from Olander Earthworks. They have great wonks and spheres. Potters tip! Now and then they have seconds sales which is when i buy. They are awesome!!!!

[@fionabryant2311]

Karen what is the glaze combo that you used on the pot before the dogs barked. The pot was pinkish on the inside.

[@Bearheadpottery]

That’s coyote’s sorcerer’s stone x 3 on the outside and coyote’s fairy rose x 3 on the inside. Colours matched beautifully!!!

@@Bearheadpottery thank you so much. I will take a note of those glazes for future. Much appreciated.

Great kiln opening. Please can you tell me what cone/temp do you glaze fire to and also what cone/temp do you bisque fire to?? That brown clay you used on those 4 mugs is beautiful, what type may I ask, is it? Thanks for sharing

[@Bearheadpottery]

@@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations thanks for watching Evelyn! I fire to a cone 6 - i hadnt made up my cone packs in time for this fire but it definately hit a 6! And i bisque to an 04 😃 The clay is Keanes red earth. Beautiful to throw and love its final fired colour!

[@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations]

@@Bearheadpottery I've read on bags of some keanes clay, that bisque is 06. Being the mid red, mid black and mid white. So going to cone 04 doesn't affect how the glaze goes on/absorbs. I am a newbie to clay and am researching everything. ATM I'm reading up on absorption test and leaching. As I want to get things right from the very beginning. It's quite interesting what is actually required. Happy potting

[@Bearheadpottery]

@@MeandmyfireflyEZCreations i used to fire to 06, but the glaze i predominantly use prefers a bisque of 04 (amaco and mayco) I prefer to keep the glaze happy, although i think the difference in glaze absorption and effect is negligible. Just my opinion. You vitrify your pieces in the glaze firing - you learn which clays like what temp and its not always what it says on the bag!😃 Tim See is a big fan of test bars and a good source of info too! Enjoy your potters journey.
