Salt Kiln Unloading

Hello everyone!

I have posted a slideshow in the side tab of the blog of my recent salt firing. You can find more images of the work on my website. It was a great firing and there were some nice saturation of color on a lot of the slips.

We have planned to do a wood Firing April Fools day. I'll be sure to post some video.

Skiing the Shuksan Arm with Tiffan

A few pics from the pre-firing slip session.




Just got back from a visit seeing my sister up in Washington State. I fired off the kiln and jumped on a plane. It was a great few days skiing the Mt. Baker backcountry around Mt. Shuksan. We hardly slept and skied even harder. I am still recovering. The ski Valley has just received 3 feet of Powder and the base is almost at 100". The powder has been therapy for the soul and when its good you got to go.










I unloaded the salt kiln on Monday. I was finally able to get a nice even firing with a lot of color and a nice salt saturation by firing a lot longer than usual. I will post pics of the unloading
and work in my next blog.
