Thanks Christie!
I did quite well at Clayfest. The Sempervivum are always the stars of the show in my handmade containers, it's really what got me so involved with this forum. Such easy going plants, once you've got a good soil mix going they really work well in even the most obscurely shaped pots.
Nick,
I love the sheen porcelain often gets in wood firings, here is one of mine...
This wood ash glaze drip is a nice touch as well...
I was using a much darker clay once in wood fire and got a metalic gold sheen that is really stunning...
I still have these pieces because I increase the price based on the excess labor required to fire in a wood kiln, unfortunately most bargain shoppers aren't aware of the difference, so they have just become "my" pieces and I am happy to keep them.
