Before and After

We fired on October 3rd.  Everything went smoothly but again, the results were not what I was looking for with the temmokus.  I even did specific gravity tests, changed the consistencies but they were still too thin.  And why purple?  Is it from reduction?  So here's a preview.  I'll do some photos of individual pots once I figure out how to use my new camera!

Love that speckled suface on the shino.  Wish it fired like that.

Before


After.  All the green & purple was supposed to be black.


Second stack from the front just loaded.
The shinos are reddest at the bottom and paler at the top where the residual salt hits them.
