Here are the pots after firing:

Definitely not enough glaze flow and interaction on the plates, but the chosen garatsu came out pretty well overall, if just a bit too heavy with the rice straw ash glaze.  There should be enough for the upcoming show at Amabuki Sake Brewery. Tilting the plate up worked pretty well, next time I’ll have to try a higher angle, but how far without making it slide into the door during firing I wonder?
