Really Great Firing...Come See:)


 This was a really splendid firing. The colors are rich but soft. I wish I could really capture the spirit of this glaze...it really does have to be held to be appreciated.






I am a closet archeologist...and this glaze really does have the feel of ancient buried treasure:)










What does not show is how the gold peeks through the highest textures and looks like it has been touched and worn satin smooth.

Have listed several items in my shop this morning.

    I don't know anything about glazes - but these look like they're made of something unearthly. Gorgeous Dorcas!

    Beautiful as always! Even though your raku pieces photograph well, it's still difficult to appreciate their true beauty in a photo. If only each person viewing this post could just for a moment hold a piece in their hands.
