Pottery #2: Lids and first real Raku firing

So now that I'm actually getting some bisqued pottery out of the kiln on a regular basis, I imagine that I'm going to be having more pottery posts! You'll probably get sick of them but just deal. 

My goal right now is to make enough pieces that are a coherent theme (shape, glaze, type of firing) that I can sell them at the Santa Fe Clay art show in December. I may also open an etsy shop (or revamp my old shop). If I can make enough money to offset my pottery classes, I'd be super pleased :)

First off, here are some lids, or more specifically, pots with lids:


And some jars, in progress:


Raku firing! Here's what it looks like when you open the kiln - everything is red hottttttt

And here are how my pieces turned out today!



(Remember the before? Huge change!)


Here are some close ups:







That is all.
