| Recent salt firing at EKU. Thanks, Joe! |
So the recent salt firing went very well, although it went so fast, I missed the salting! My thanks to Joe and Jake for taking care of the noxious part.

| I love the warm tones! |
The clay I'm using is a half and half mix of porcelain and half white stoneware. I love the light neutral tone it gives in the salt firing. Wiping on and wiping back the local slip I'm using deepens the tone. I can see I'll be working with this quite a bit. When the salting gets very heavy, the clay deepens to a nice grey-blue tone. I may try a slip and ash mix in a future wood firing.
These items on the page and others are now listed on my Etsy site. I'll also be participating in a few local pottery sales closer to Christmas. I may have an open studio day just before the holidays really get rolling.
