Hard to see them, but there are wonderful swirls of color in the pool of glaze at the bottom of this cup. Technically correct? Who knows! It's a nice spot to look at though.

This one was unexpectedly nice. My girlfriend has started to wander into the studio and glaze things, this was a low-fire glaze, but it survived quite nicely. Actually a raku glaze called Dynasty Blue I think, though she may have used one called shinju... Not sure!

This one seems quite overfired, but I still liked all the colors. The ochre was a surprise. The glaze is from Georgie's in Portland. Does anyone know of a way to fix or do I let it be?

On Temp: I'm not sure how hot. I had chordierite shelves warp quite heavily where this pot was fired.
