Kiln Results 8/1

August 06, 2022

This was a super disappointing kiln opening. A lot of the pieces in here were ferns and lily pads with Oribe on them. Oribe always performs for me, but this time it was just a little lackluster. There were some almost blisters in spots. I didn't take pictures of all the pieces, but a few are below. My plan is to refire them with another coat or two of Oribe and hope they get better.
There are some really good pieces in this kiln. I LOVE the way that Shadow Blue works on the wave pin. I'm also really pleased with how my pumpkin platter turned out as well.

These are the Oribe issues. The smaller pieces were all dipped and the larger ones were brushed. Both applications had issues. Fingers crossed refiring goes well. I immediately sprayed on my starch since it takes so long to dry.
