All Loaded


Yesterday we had 1.75 inches of rain. The kiln is all loaded for a glaze firing and I decided to risk firing last night. I'm hoping to get up to temp and slow cool before the next onslaught of thunderstorms today. The drum circle is tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Please keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for some finished pots real soon. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  4. Hi Michele, thanks, I hope the gods are happy today.

    Hi Barbara, thanks, we're getting more today, but we had a long stretch of nothing so we needed it. I hope you get some too, soon I think you will.

  5. Love seeing a kiln loaded and ready to go. Love seeing the opening of a kiln! It's all a mystery until the kiln cools down and always surprises. So good firing blessings...and I can't wait to see the finished pieces!

  6. Hi Patti, thanks, all's well that ends well, one bit of thunder and no lightening.

    Hi Charlene, thanks, it really is a mystery, even with oxidation and a surprise, I can't wait to open the kiln each and every time; I'm down to 900 F now, but the last 500 takes the longest, so some results will be tomorrow, hopefully good ones.
