This mornings kiln opening

I thought it was time to post a video of some finished pieces so here these are, fresh from the kiln.

Beautiful work. As a potter of 40+ years to see what you’ve accomplished with one arm, makes me feel like a slacker. Well done. Can’t wait to see more

Thanks very much.

Like the sea and sand concept. Worked very well especially on your plates. Will make a nice set.

Thank you and thanks for watching

I really like the mugs with the pop of yellow, too. :) It’s a nice surprise.

[@onearmedpotter]

Thanks for watching and glad you like them, cheerful mugs;)

It was just as good for me. Those color combinations are great. 1. How hot does the area around your kiln get when it's firing? I'm getting a kiln and have a shed that looks to be about the same size as your work room, so I'm curious. 2. Do you use commercial glazes, or mix your own? If you make your own, would you mind sharing your recipes? Thanks in advance for any info you have for a new potter.

Hi. I have a gap of around 12 inches between the wall and kiln. I fire to 1210. I generally leave the windows open as well as the doors in order to allow air to circulate. I always make sure I'm around whenever I glaze fire but generally never had any issues. All of the glazes I use are commercial glazes. I have thought about making my own glazes but then I'd have to test and then find more storage so it's easier, for me anyway, to simply buy something that has been tested and works;)

I like these mags with yellow inside! Can you tell, how long it took for you to create this batch of mags? And do you sell them on markets or in the shops?

Hi. To make a kiln load it takes a few weeks, throwing, trimming, handles, drying out, bisque then glaze. At the moment I sell via stockists in Cornwall & Devon.
