New stripey pots


These two pots are an attempt to apply more thought to the stripe process. The top one was underfired at Cone 6 - I had put Seto yellow in dabs over my ASMI ochre but it didn't meld together. I had the opportunity to put it in a Cone 10 oxidation gas firing which did meld the two glazes but caused the stripes to drip and the barium blue thinner stripes faded.
The white pot is red clay with the same two glazes as in the first pot for the year. A bit of a problem with receding and advancing colours here as the finished result is the opposite of the raw glaze application. Such is ceramics!
