ready for anagama

Wellington pottery association does an anagama firing once a year, these are the three vases I made for it. From left to right, I have applied wood ash, shino and milky white glaze...now to wait for November when the firing will be done...

Grace An anagama is a type of kiln that uses wood as fuel to heat up the kiln, it's a Japanese word, maybe @Satoshi knows about them? This will be my first experience with them as I only joined the club this year.. I've heard it's very unpredictable how they turn out as the ash from the flames forms it's own sort of glaze, and the position of the pot in the kiln has an influence on the result... Can be awesome or kinda blah lol
