Another raku firing

It was very windy and some of the items being fired were fragile so the sawdust was added directly to the kiln shelf and the cover replaced with a dustbin. The vase that came out has some really nice crazing lines, they seem to follow a spiral fault in the pot that resulted from how it was thrown.

Some of the results from my first stoneware firing. I'd used a combination of an oatmeal and a blue/grey glaze which I seem to have applied to thinly although that sometimes seems to work OK. These are the first mugs I've made and seem to be quite usable, they've already replaced the mass-produced ones in my cupboard.
