This morning, I turned on the kiln and started a bisque firing. It contains one large vase, 3 fairly good sized tiles, a bunch of mugs and cups and bowls and some little things. This firing is going to cone 05, and had a 4 hour pre-heat to make sure everything was nice and dry. A couple pieces thrown last weekend looked pretty dry, but I wasn’t totally convinced. I should be able to open late tomorrow or Monday morning.
The firing went well, and should be cool enough to open Monday morning. Then the glazing process rev’s up. If there’s anything interesting to report before the glaze firing, I’ll note it here.
