Great job, keep it coming. The book with the data information, did you make it up or did you get it from somewere?? I want to start a book with all of my glazing information on it also, just wondering. Thanks

Thanks for your comments. I created that Log Book, I layout the pages using Adobe In-Design and convert them to PDF fiormat. I have all the fields listed that I need to remember to fill out when I do a firing like dates, firing temp, start / end times...and some checkboxes and items listed that I circle...such as what kind of firing this is (Bisques, Glaze, Overglaze), which kiln I used e.t.c.. I also have areas for descriptions and notes.

Those are nice pieces. Do you ever work with anything other than red clay?

@MrAlbertmolina

I have used lots of different clays but decided to limit my work to just a few. This allos me to understand and master the characteristics of these clays and the color results after glazing. This commercial red clay named ' Navajo Wheel' has a very fine grain feel, similar to porcelain, It dries qucily with little warping and does a great job with most glaze colors.
