Salt & Soda Firing

I teamed up with Mark Kronfuss for the latest firing.  In addition to the usual salt, we added soda ash to this firing (maybe a little too much!)  The work was very "wet", and not quite what we expected, but very interesting.  Here are a couple of photos from that firing.
 
 
Interesting red-ish flashing, perhaps from copper on a nearby pot.  This pot was made from porcelain and had been sprayed with a flashing slip when leather hard.
 
 
This pot, too, was made from porcelain and sprayed with the same flashing slip.  Quite a difference!
