All the saggar babies. A bit of terra sig peeling. I'm not completely sure what happened, more likely it's user error. I might wind up using some underglaze or Stoke and Coat in the blank spots. #saggarfiring #terrasig #ceramics #pottery #handmaderva #clayinrva #dirtartceramics #handmadeceramics

More terra sig application and a few pieces I fired in a trashcan. I have to experiment more with that process. #saggatfiring #ceramics #pottery #handmadeinrva #dirtartcermics #clayinrva

Next 2 bowls for the saggar. Hopefully, these flatter shapes still turn out well under a saggar firing. I have high hopes. #ceramics #pottery ##saggarfiring #dirtartceramics #clayinrva #rvaclay #handmadeinrva
