Kiln Mishap = amazing glaze

So here are two cups/chalice's made by Zeke.  He rarely throws, and you can see his work is very different then mine.  He seems uninterested in the glazing process and like before had me glaze his piece. 

Also pictured is a bowl I made. This is the only bowl from that run that I glazed to preserve. The other three were set aside to use in the soda kiln, a sacrifice to experimentation.







So the kiln had a mishap, was to get to ^6 like normal, but got to about ^7 or ^8.  There was one piece that Laura made that survived and then our work.  Everything else was damaged by the out of control heat. So the glaze got crazy and mixed in a novel way creating the look you see... no real way to reproduce it. A gift from the kiln.
