The Rest
The flat dish and shots were made with Meir's clay recipe,which he hasn't used for some years,since his last batch went hyperthixotropic; although a mite underfired I'll probably try to refire them in the gas kiln],they show good orange flashing. I only made up[ a couple of kilos of clay [and some of that went in to the salt],but hope to make a larger quantity for next year's firing [or maybe the putative next Tel Hai firing before June].
The Limosges porcelain vases also flashed,as we had hoped,in addition to bending and buckling in an entertaining way. The tall vase is your classic slightly-underfired anagama look,followed by the two flat bottles,which not only survived intact [a minor miracle,given my suspect joining technique] but both have one side black/other side tan,which I find pleasing.
The anagama firing was a great event,with great results. Hats off to Meir and all those who took part.
