First glaze firing in a while. Overfired by a fair bit but everything came out fine.
I have uploaded before and after pictures of each of the four shelves of work, to show the shrinkage in a glaze fire. They also shrink in the bisque fire, as well as when they are initially drying out. I have to take into account about a 12% shrinkage (or more) in everything I make. It can sometimes be very disappointing when the large item you throw looks so much smaller once finished.
