Monday morning- Glaze-firing. Are you ready? Start!
Tuesday - back to back firing. This is top shelf.
These two didn't have space in the kiln.
There were several whippets on the lower shelf. Ah-oh! This new batch of bronze glaze is disaster! It needs adjustment... and it needed more tests!
Yesterday - Because of potential loss of whippets, I had to quickly make more! So I also made three bunnies! :D
Anteater, masks and accessories!
The first this morning, I unloaded the kiln. All are safe!
Empress seems happy,too!
Back to back! The kiln was loaded for glaze-firing.
After this, I spent a half day to pack and send the orders today. One of them was a complicated one! I hope they travel safely

Look at this brochure. My Hope is in it! I will be at Windsor Contemporary Art Fair, 8-9 Nov. PV is on the 7th. Invitations and more details are here.
I hate it when shelves get drips like that; so sorry for your shelf. I see you use quite a bit of sand to fire on. I usually only put a small amount.
ReplyDeleteI use sand to support work. But also protect from oxides etc.. Mike removed the glaze from the shelf. It was same recipe. Sigh. I might have made a mistake with measuring. :(
Deleteoh good to know about protecting from the oxides, now that I am already firing, will have to use more in subsequent firings, thanks, have a great show coming up, love the cherubs
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Linda. I noticed some dark underglaze also stains the shelf. Thank you. : )
