So the blues and greens, those are from glazes you sprayed? and the lovely brown tones and gray tones are from the soda firing? I just love these plates, they are gorgeous!

What kind of work do you do?

Mostly functional soda fired pottery. Mostly wheel thrown. Lots of altering of the forms and focus on surface decoration. My work is based in tradition with a strong modern twist on it.

My work can be seen on my website: http://emilymurphy.com and on my blog at http://potteryblog.com

I used about 7lbs, since it was first firing. My stacking space is 3 12 x 24 shelves deep with 52 inches to highest point of arch. The results were beautiful, and the cleanup was not bad at all - definitely less corrosive to floor bricks! Thanks for sharing your info and keep making those great pots!
Cheers, jason

Moni is very sweet and her work is great. Don't know if you will be in her part of the country (south) but thought you might like the info. Have a great time!

At 5:37am on April 19, 2008, Crawford Horne said…: Thanks Emily, this is helpful. With the dimensional data you've provided I can compare the volume of your chamber with that of my own kiln and see how the amounts of soda we've been using match up. I can then make an adjustment to my quantity.

At 9:46pm on April 18, 2008, Pamela Theis said…: That's a good question. I'm really not sure. I looked in the admin options and I didn't see a way to change it. I will keep looking and working on it. Honestly, I am not extremely computer savvy. I think I can change it by using CSS, but I have to read up on how to do it. Are you familiar with CSS?
