Kiln Results 8/22
August 23, 2022I was a little nervous for this firing. Not for any real reason other than Craig and I have never repaired a kiln before. What if it went all wrong? But it didn't. As disappointing as the last two firings have been this one was almost perfect. I had one drip onto the shelf and a couple of vinyl issues (both not kiln related), but overall I'm really happy with the results from this kiln.
And boy did I need the kiln working again. I had to stop making because my ready for bisque and my in progress shelves were all completely full. I emptied this kiln and immediately loaded it with bisque. I think I'm going to do another bisque right away when this one is done since it will take me a couple of days to glaze everything coming out of the bisque. With travel for work and back to the cabin I only have like 2.5 weeks left at home to be ready for the McKenzie Childs show at the beginning of October. I've got mostly everything made that I want to, but it doesn't do me any good if everything is still greenware.
My favorite pieces are the sets of cala lily candle holders, the butter dish, and my accidental tie dye mug.
