Finally, my landscape pots are getting somewhere. I lay the pot on its back and poured four glazes over the top, the first a mauve colour followed by three of my green tests allowing the glazes to flow around the body. It was fired at 1210 held above the kiln shelf by a series of ceramic wads. The glaze effects are surprising but not as much as the change in the physical nature of the pot. It almost slumped in this position and shrank unbelievably - as you can see in the comparison photo.
The glazed pot was originally the same size as the one on the right!

I think this idea has real potential. Once you start laying things down to fire, who knows where you will end up. Exciting!
