Some "corners" came out of the kiln - with additions of hardware -
mainly nails -
and sometimes other embellishments -
Those had been pressed into the corners of a mold; are are these -
Mixing intense underglaze colour - a few drops of water on the tabletop, add the powder, stir. It starts to dry out but you revitalise with a bit more water.
The inside is, or will be, "velvet black" - the outside shiny white. Goodness knows what will happen to "chili red" -
Another little structure gets the glaze treatment -
These will be "once fired" - taken straight from wet clay to stoneware, but the kiln temperature will be raised slowly to 600 degrees. The purpley one is meant to be "charcoal" - I dipped it in the bucket of glaze without stirring, so only the downside edge got the concentrated glaze. The rest got wet, and the glaze seeped through the wet stuff a bit. It's all an experiment...
And these have been bisque fired so will go in with a different firing -
