Test tiles
Every glaze behaves differently according to the firing temperature, type of clay, and of course the balance of materials within the glaze. Some turn out well - others not so!

Solar Orange plate
Footed bowl, freshly thrown
I leave some extra clay in the foot when I throw these bowls, which allows me to trim an elegant, Japanese tall foot.
