Raw clay for abo pottery (build along)

<< < (8/9) > >>

Zuma:
I fired the pot yesterday and here it is--
I used a small electric kill and introduced some wood slivers
at the end of firing to burn out the oxygen,
Gives the rich brown color.

Don Case:
Looks good, have you filled it with water? I'm still curious about the limestone :D

I guess it won't do any harm as the particles are so small.
I'll get a cool drink of water from it. (evaporation through the pot).
The clay really did shrink a lot.

Don Case:
The shrinkage came as a big surprize to me on my first try. I thought I was making a man sized coffee cup and ended up with a shot glass. Not so bad after all >:D

Zuma:
Lol Don,
Half of something is always better than all of nothing.
I think I fired the pot to stoneware. No limestone problems.
