Beautiful work! It looks like your pieces might have under fired, which will lead them to look slightly matte instead of shiny and glossy. To find out whether your kiln is reaching the right temperature, I would suggest getting some witness cones which will tell you the heat work that your kiln is doing. You would want to use 3 of them, 1 at your target cone, one above and one below (ex-firing to cone 6, you use witness cones 5, 6 and 7. Cone 5 should be bent to floor of shelf, cone 6 should be bent to parallel to floor or at 90 degree angle, and cone 7 should have just a slight bend at a proper cone 6 firing). Nice job! You can also refire your pieces if they don't come out as expected but just be careful because the glaze can run and stick to the shelf.
Wow, those pancakes have me craving a home made breakfast!
Right?!

Your eyes are correct! This was a matte glaze which I do not care for anymore. I’ve switch to a dip glossy glaze now and it’s been much preferred!
Thats amazing!!! 😮 i wanna tryyyy pottery too~ it always amaze me
You should give a go!!!
So fun to watch your process as an aspiring ceramicist myself! What is the cheese grater looking thing used for at the 7:25 minute mark?
It’s such a great hobby! It’s a diamond sander.
You are getting some really nice results. What is the name of the green glaze? It looks like wasabi.
It getting better with it! Thank you. It’s amaco celadon brush on glaze
Girl, I thought you were wearing beige gloves - turns out its a messy process :P
It really is. I’m getting better at not being as messy!! 😝
