Bowls

Here are some of the bowls from the firing. See if you can find them in the stacks shown in my last post! These are some real beauties. I want to pick just one of them to keep for my Malt-O-Meal in the morning, But I can't chose between them. I think I have it narrowed to between the robins egg blue one, and the white on the outside, color burst on the inside, one. I really like the red one too... so hard to choose!
Look at all the soda on the side of the low round bowl with red inside (second from top of post). That bowl got a lot of kiln-love, and came out crazy and exciting!

Soda Fire

Here are two layers of the soda kiln i recently fired with two other potter friends. The colors came out beautifully, and the Pendleton Red clay I used for the bowls I had in there also came out a stunning toasty color. Most of the work I had in this kiln is going towards the Empty Bowls Project. Which is a potters way to earn money for Oregon Food Banks, that are really in need at the moment. We will be selling the bowls from the Mt. Hood Community College dining hall, filled with soup, for ten dollars. Seven goes to the food bank, and 3 actually pays for the soup. What a deal! You can eat lunch for charity, and keep the bowl! if you want more info about this project, please ask me about it.
