It probably is a good idea for a post of its own.<br />I usually refer to the glaze catching bowls under the pots, as glaze catchers. The little stand that the pot actually sits on, I call a stand. Not sure what the "experts" call such things!

Have you ever posted about how you remove the pots from those holders that catch the extra glaze? And what are the holders called? Your post reminds me that pottery is filled with opportunities to be patient- and that you are!

Good to hear from you, thank you for y...Hi Michèle,<br />Good to hear from you, thank you for your encouragement, it is greatly appreciated. You have a manual electric kiln too! I think there should be a special society for manual electric kiln firers! I get tempted from time to time to buy a controller for mine, but the cost of them is enormous in this part of the world, and I am so used to managing without one that I'll probably keep going this way. <br /><br />Hi Pat,<br />Lovely to hear from you. Sorry that the info was a bit "daunting" this time around, but my attention was mostly with the kiln that I was supervising, and my multitasking skills were being called upon! I keep having a "crisis of confidence" with my pottery, and sometimes wish I could settle for one glaze, but I seem to be always striving for something that I can't quite "see". <br />It is quite a relief when something turns out! I love the mug too. Easy to take mugs for granted, but I was quite surprised with how nice it looked when photographed. Sometimes the camera allows one to have a fresh look.

We only use it for bisque firing but have been thinking about doing some ^6 glazes, especially with the price of propane this winter!<br />That tenmokku mug is a beauty!93289996Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-73308296221862396712014-02-10T22:13:50.728+13:002014-02-10T22:13:50.728+13:00Hello "D",

Very confusing (and daft) this corporate branding of our National teams. I gather the PM would like us to have a new flag as well... Let's see, a silver fern on a black background...! Ha!<br />Anyway, the cricket match was most exciting, and it was a great relief that our team finally struggled their way to a victory. I actually felt sad at the prospect of either team losing that one, as India did a great job in their second innings.<br />Really hoping the blue does turn out... it has been a long day with the kiln today!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580639918656230427.post-70772022777480627492014-02-10T19:27:18.243+13:002014-02-10T19:27:18.243+13:00Some weird and whackie ones here Peter...

Interestingly different and no possibility of being confused with mass-oroduced stuff from the place where "everybody gets a bargain"!<br /> What a shame about only 2/7 test results. The All Blacks have done rather better against India, that's for sure.<br /> That's a superb blue... I do hope it turns out right for the order. D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
