The pots pictured below are going through the raku firing process.
Raku firing is an ancient Japanese ceramics technique that dates back to the 16th century.
Glazed pieces are taken from the kiln when red hot and placed in a combustible organic material that catches fire. This is done to starve the oxygen from the container and creates a myriad of colours, creating completely unique pieces.

Yesterday, I said that the Fediverse is the biggest communications revolution in a generation.
A few skeptical folk said, "Those are big words -- just hype."
On the contrary. The Fediverse is our best chance to completely destroy the Big Social paradigm.
This is why you all need to *learn* about the Fediverse. Not just Mastodon. Not just specific instances of Mastodon.
Rather, learn about the entire Fediverse system. I know it seems big and abstract. But it's ideas that change the world.
I’m migrating today, which means my posts will disappear and I’ll be rebuilding my follows. By 8 U.K. time, I guess?
Thank you, @Paul, for this friendly foodie instance. It’s been lovely being here. Thank you everyone, for being so interesting and kind. I will find you again, and follow. This is how we build community, and I love it. #migrating #ThankYou #StillNew
