Most of my first glaze firing was 266 clay, the dark brown clay that is one of my favorites. The oatmeal glaze went over it really nicely. Above, jugs and a handled wall pot. Below, the jugs again.
My kiln goddess. I painted her with blue and purple underglazes and wiped most of it off, letting it stay in the patterns I stamped on her. Most of the purple burned off, but the blue shows well.

Lessons learned from the first glaze firing: I don't have to worry about the glazes running as much as I thought, so heavier application is possible, which will give me better color results. This is particularly true of the emeraude glaze, which you will notice is not featured here.

Beautiful!!!! I hate oatmeal but not here. The turbulent indigo is beautiful and has a great name.
The paisley stamps? WOW so cool.
Congratulations to you and your kiln goddess on your first complete cycle.
i think i liked the oatmeal glazed jug with they deep grey bottom the best. subtly toned... very smart.
xo.r.
Thanky thanky! The little jug was a historical form, suggested by my brother, and it turned out quite well, I think. :)
