Hi everyone ๐Ÿค

In todayโ€™s video, Iโ€™m opening my kiln just before heading off to a medieval marketโ€ฆ and this one is FULL.

This kiln load is packed with handmade mugs, tankards, dragon pieces, and market stock โ€” all made in the lead-up to a big weekend event. Iโ€™ve also added a running total of this kilns value on screen.

This firing was a cone 5 with a 20-minute hold, and Iโ€™m testing a range of glaze combinations including:
Amaco, Mayco, Spectrum, Coyote, Jungle Gems and more.

Iโ€™ll also be taking all of this to a medieval festival (Berserkers Medieval & Truffle Festival), so this is very much a real-time look at preparing for markets as a ceramic artist.

If you enjoy kiln openings, pottery processes, glaze combinations, and behind-the-scenes studio life โ€” youโ€™re in the right place ๐Ÿค
