Planters and Mushrooms - pottery glaze kiln unloading 25

[@parulsinha3092]

I love them all, beautiful shapes and colors, glaze is so glossy, the patterns are very attractive. But if I just had to choose from them, i would choose the first and last turquoise ones. This unload was such a pleasure to watch. 😍

Thanks so much! I also love the variety, it's hard to choose.

The worry stones were first made to be heart stones, or touch stones. Loved ones had them made when having to be apart or for when a love one passes. They made the heartstone by pressing the loved ones thumb in the clay and having a Potter glaze and fire them. This is a way you can place your thumb in your loved one's print when you're thinking about them and missing them.

Which planter shape/color/carving design is your favorite?

[@elizahorsten4436]

Hi I’m confused. The beats did not stick to the glazed plates. How is this possible. I would imagine they would pickup some of the glaze off the plates and become friends forever.

I only glazed the rim of the planter plates, (clear glaze over the colored underglaze) so the unglazed beads were only touching raw clay. If the plates were fully glazed, the beads absolutely would have stuck forever, you are correct. I can see why that would be confusing, thanks for your question 🙂
