Here's a little bowl that I've pinched with black clay. Stoneware!
It came out of the last firing that I did, a glaze firing as it happens.
There's another one coming up to temperature right now, so I wait for that with bated breath..... the nearest thing I get to being an expectant mothe!
And know I have to be patient and wait till it cools down. As it happens it's not quite top temperature yet. Will be in the next few hours and it will soak (simmer) for half an hour at approximately 1260°. C and then it will take a whole day to cool down too say 50c or so which is about my Benchmark for lifting the lid. Of course that depends on the temperature outdoors and it will be quite warm this weekend. Well mid-20s maybe? A movement-based meditation inspired by nature.
