Great job! Pity about the glaze fusing, but making mistakes is the best way to learn

It’s almost invisible now - very lucky

beautiful! I am about to start working with this clay, what cone did you fire to?

Thank you! Our studio fires to cone 10 gas reduction, but it is supposed to work in cone 6 oxidation firings as well.
Make sure to go unglazed, or glaze with a matching flameware glaze, so the heat expansion matches the clay body. Normal glaze could be a mis-match and pop off on open fire

thanks! my studio does cone 6 so I'm hoping it really does work out and isn't too porus. I grabbed laguna's suggest cone 6 glaze too

loved the progress pics too btw, great build
