The kiln is-a-stoking






Just a quick note. I loaded the kiln tonight, Julia's pot mark two is in there along with John's creation my new pot http://annbolinaceramics.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-work.html and a load of test tiles (pictured above) so that I can test run my new glazes. I set the kiln to raise 60C an hour till 600 then 133 an hour to 1000. I am keeping it nice and slow since Julia's pot blew up. My first casualty in years. I put it down to the studio being so damp and cold at the moment, there is no heating in there except when the kilns are on....anyway a little puja for the kiln gods, I hope they are listening!!
