Thanks! I will be loading the kiln this weekend for another firing, starting Feb 15. I have several chawan and yunomi in this one, so I will have pics in a few weeks

Nice! How big is the tumbler/ yunomi?

[paul haigh]

There are 2 different ones, each is about 3" x 3" I think. I have them on etsy as well. I fired them in February, but have a lot of pots that I only recently photographed.
The middle one has iron brushwork on the other side, and took some serious wood fire. That celadon doesn't move like that without serious heat (cone 14+, I suspect), and it gets opalescent blue in the ash drips around the foot. I mixed them together in these shots- notice the middle one has a square foot.

I managed to find them on your Etsy. I want to pull the trigger so bad, but I am likely moving soon, and should probably try and hoarde cash in the mean time because I am not quite sure what the next 4 months will bring.

I fully understand! Wishing you luck wherever you go... Maybe a little room for your own wheel...

WOWZA, beauties Paul!!!

WOWZA, beauties Paul!!!

Thanks! I've been focusing on the nuka pieces a bit, but it only works in the hottest part of the kiln, so I can only put in so many of them. (The middle of the kiln is already cone 12 flat, so the front must be well over cone 14)

Put more tea stuff back in the shop!

Happy birthday ... don't be a stranger!

[paul haigh]

Thanks, Chip! I have been a bit focused on sculpture and face jugs of late. After a couple of conversations with myself here, I thought I would wait until I had something new to share

Teaware specifically made for shows in Salem, MA leading up to Halloween. (they go jussst a bit nuts for Halloween there)
