wow

working on some ideas utilizing double walled thrown forms.

the trick is to get the pieces light enough/thin enough etc.

above is a double walled sakazuki. guinomi thrown as one piece then carved. high fired. cone 10.

[bonjiri]

current double walled pieces. flat vase.

this particular piece fused to the shelf. zen.

now it is one piece.

[Littlepig2]

Oh dear! but you probably wanted some new kiln shelves anyway. . .

[Herb_Master]

I know nothing - but my brain says

can you not invert the shelf about 1/4" above another shelf - refire and allow it to ease itself off - or would it just stick to the shelf below

[IPT]

That's an incredible piece. I'm sorry about the sticky situation you're in, but that piece is really cool! I hope you can remove it somehow. Is it possible to grind it off?

[Petr Novák]

That is good one...time for hammer and grinder, my kiln shelfs can talk about it for hours.

I am sorry but also glad that you take a time to put the picture of it here.

[bonjiri]
