I love that yellow glaze its so vibrant and sunny, goes well with the beehive feel the nut stamp has.

I had this happen to me a couple of times when using porcelain for me its just difficult to work with all round. Still its good to learn new things otherwise there'd be no challenge to making pots!

That was quite a virus! I'm glad you're starting to shake it.

The mug looks great! And I quite like that blue, but that bright turquoise-teal is very me -- I understand about colors just not being you. I've been kicking myself for not picking up some Laguna Power Turquoise the last time I was at the clay shop. So bright! They said it really runs, but I think it would be pretty pooled in the bottom of a bowl. Next time.

Have fun experimenting!

I'm worried about sticky porcelain now. :)

I have sooo much to learn!
Last firing I got many mishaps too, and trouble-shot them with both of my teachers. So good to have them around. And reading your experiences, despite the difference in names, materials and such, helps a lot too!
I just used a glaze for the first time, a satin white one (gorgeously beautiful to the eye), that cracked on EVERY surface, but the really deep ones. I have four possible causes, most likely the combination of at least three of them. I am determined to re-try it. Reading about this, makes me want to try harder! Good luck with the following steps, and thanks for sharing.
