The vases and heart ready to go.
It needs a lot of newspaper and sawdust.
Just starting.
Half way through; the smoke is what blackens the clay not the fire.
The fire dying down.
After the smoke has cleared, you can just see the heart right in the middle.
I wanted one of my hearts to have the effect of looking burnt, so with the help of Ralph and Mo from cermaics i was able to fire one of my ceramic hearts (after it had been fired in the kiln) in a metal bin. Very scary and smokey but i'm really pleased with how it turned out!
