We did a soda firing this week ! Baby's first soda firing. I loaded the babe, bricked the babe up, and helped with the firing process. I got to spray the soda twice and the ring master.

The two titty planters, I used the butter slip for the nipples and then put the Korean pale celadon over top. The other titty mug I used butter slip over the entire thing. Not super happy with any of the titties.

The kewpie doll was made with red slip and then simply placed in the kiln, insane how grey it ended up turning. Obsessed with how the red little booty stayed. Definitely want to put more kewpie dolls in another soda firing and mess around with the studio colored slips.

I also made some shitty pottery of course ! The vessel on the left I used the tenmoku and the one on the right I used the sea slug. I love how both of these turned out. I glazed them and then wiped away the raised areas, love how they filled the lines in. 

I have never been a big atmospheric firing guy, but maybe the soda has changed my mind.
