When you stand beside your oven just at maximum temperature to watch the cone and hear a loud rumble in the oven at this moment, that's a pretty scary moment or a scary hour.
What did happen inside? You will ask yourself. My friend and I (he throws the pieces and I glaze them) looked at each other wide-eyed.
Through a small hole we could see that the inner stack has collapsed.
What should you do? Cancel the fire? We did not. We were brave.
Upon cooling, a first photograph was taken (700 ° C). That looked bad:
After cooling, the disaster:
The things that rumbled were the three vases that had fallen into a corner of the oven to cuddle:
They could be saved as a sculpture:
Wonderful glazes.
It should be a fitting group of vases. But that was not how it was meant ...
Nevertheless, few pieces left the oven undestroyed.
Very interesting is a plate that came to an angle. The inner glaze-lake flowed diagonally to the side. What a wonderful unique piece:
Nevertheless, various destroyed pieces have inspired us to make new experiments in which the glaze forms interesting structures and colors through flow movements:
Two pieces remained intact; that was good, because it was a special experiment.
Once the little vases were each made of a homemade and self-thrown porcelain mass, on the other hand it was the first attempts of mine to try the frit 3110. I think the results are promising (the little one was strike-fired later).
Now I will make the homemade porcelain masses in slightly larger quantities and try again, if they are well for throwing.
