Extinct Oceanic Species

An absolute shocker of a fish from the kiln today. This is a very big plate, I was working on the idea of evolution and extincion when I came up with this beast.

Hi Kitty, what a beautiful fish. The post with the kiln, is that a platter the same size as the kiln shelf? That is amazing. What beautiful work you do.

Yes, the platter is about the same circumference as the kiln, fired on tripod pins which were a bit scary, but it seemed to work and didn’t sag, amazingly.
I have the PDF of my article in Ceramic Review Magazine that came out over the weekend if you are interested, let me have your e mail address and I will send it to you. Thanks for liking the plate, it is a very big leap into the unknown for me.
