Friday Melt Report

Happy Friday everyone! I don't have any standard blobs for you this week but I am doing a big firing tomorrow of bespoke pendants, paws and hearts. I still have slots left for all 3!

As for nonstandard blobs, I'm learning to do pot melts! For these I put glass in little clay pots and let them drip down through the hole in the bottom onto the shelf below, creating swirling patterns. Here's my first batch!

inside of kiln with 16 terracotta pots with scraps of glass in them elevated over the shelf on a structure of kiln posts
the pots have melted glass in them
kiln shelf with 16 swirling cabochons, a couple of them have "tails" coming up from them that broke off from the pots, those will need to refire

Thanks for reading! Have a nice weekend!
