OCTOBER 31ST STONEWARE FIRING ![](//photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5707/1380/400/tops2.0.jpg)
These tops were thrown off the hump. The low wide ones work the best.

Experimenting with handles: when I start making a mug, I first throw a loop which will be the handle. It was used whole on the yellow mug, and cut first on the center one. For the cup on the right, I threw a small column, and cut it off leaving a pad of clay to attach to a quite wet cup. I impressed a pattern to attach the pad.

More thrown loop handles. The glaze is Laguna's "Italian Straw". ..one of the few purchased glazes I have here.

Odds 'n ends...I mixed 2 iron reds together, and it's not very red. I should have cooled down a little slower for this one.
