Glaze Firing!

I absolutely LOVE opening the kiln after a glaze fire!  At times, I feel more excited than the kids!  I recently opened up the kiln to reveal the glazing from my seventh grade students.  I am loving the way these mugs are turning out!  They really got creative with how they applied the glaze.  So many students were asking, "What will happen if I put this color on top of this color?" or "What will it look like if I splatter the glaze?".  I love taking the opportunity to tell students to "give it a try"!  I am so happy with out they turned out and even more impressed with the creative risks students were willing to take!
