That giant one on the grass especially broke in such a beautiful way. We all were telling Natasha Alphonse that if she didn’t want to keep it, we did.

The very back floor of the kiln was wild. This was the spot that got way too hot way too soon. Turns out the side effect of that was more ash on the work. The ash isn’t gonna stay on a pot until the glaze is melted - and sticky. More time hot? More time sticky. Way more melted ash!

The front was really sold. Couple of dry areas. The crab bowl looks wild! Mostly of that shell will dissolve into dust, but we were amazing that the barnacles stayed.

Not everything made it through. We had clay defects cause several beautiful pieces tear themselves apart. Other pots were broken or tipped by sticks. I lost a beast because another vase tipped into it, fusing the two together. When they cracked apart, it lost a chunk.
