| Sanded with an orbital sander (60 grit). I like this look. |

| I think this is what "normal" would be for a cone 04 firing. This piece was on the bottom kiln shelf. |

Fired to ^04, but on the top shelf of the kiln. It's definitely over-fired as evidenced by the blisters.

............fired to ^04, but on various shelves in the kiln. I think the Martianware would be happier in a ^06 firing. The salts that form on the clay as it dries does produce a self-glazing surface. I think the most promising results are from sanding the over-fired pieces with 60 grit sandpaper. Next step is to perhaps glaze with a clear crackle glaze and try raku.
Back to testing.....
