Well while I'm posting results here are the finished coffee pots that I made for a customer. The cup that sits on the top is a strainer that a paper filter will fit in and hot water is poured over and the coffee drips into the pot.
I'm happy with how these came out. Looks like a good start to a new item.
Here are the results of the two bowls that I made with the new clays. The top bowl is standards #308 clay and the bottom bowl was made with standards #211 clay. Both bowl were fired in oxidation to cone 7. At this point I really like the toasty look of the 308. I'm not sure if it would be too much though. I'd appreciate any thoughts
