Gas Kiln Firing 12-5-09
Here's what came out of the kiln. I did a lot of experimenting with glaze and glaze combinations. I also experimented with designs for three tile installations I want to do. This was a pretty successful firing. I like what the clay did and I like what the glazes did. I tried a bit of a reduction starting at ^02 and ending at ^1. Then I fired in oxidation to ^6.

second large sculpture that cracked in the glaze firing.
IF you don't already, do fire on a bed of grog. Get some big grog. OR little. Doesn't matter but letting the thing roll on little clay ball bearings might help. Rox in OR
oh boy, I see where you are going with the bead pourer! I live in the town of Fire Mountain Gems. Have you shopped there?
THE BAD THING IS that I have to shop as you do, on line! When they were little and out in Cave Junction, a person could go in and shop. NOT NOW!

Is the pig snout what you are talking about? I do see the crack and have watched my brother's face when he takes something out of the kiln to find a crack in it.
Almost - heartbreaking.
