Kiln Opening!
We were very pleased with the way the Antique Iron fired! We got the full range of brown, red, green, and even a touch of blue. The only disappointment was that several of the pieces have spots where the glaze did not take, which was likely due to me stacking waxed pots before dipping them. Lesson learned: no stacking after waxing!

Ready, Glaze, Fire!
I have three glazes in my little garage studio: Chun Red, Heather Green (I can’t recall the exact name of the glaze, but this sounds about right), and a new one – Antique Iron. We (this includes myself and my kiln-master husband) just mixed the Antique Iron and this will be our first time firing with it. I have no idea how this glaze behaves, so I took care not to put it on too thickly and Joe used all…
