I am posting a few pics of our recent wood firing which we unloaded today. It was roughly a 36 hour firing with John Bradford and Scott Rutherford.
We had 50 mph gusts in the beginning but, managed to achieve cone 10-12 in the entire kiln. We decide to soda 3 pounds in the back and a pound and a half up front.
This is the same kiln we will be using for the workshop in July. There were nice results through out excluding a pink shino that might as well been labeled Pottery Pepto Bismol.
Luckily it didn't find its way on to any of my pots. The next firing will be in May and I plan to experiment with some new iron oxides, Croques Martes? and a C-1? and a newman red clay on a coleman Porcelain with which I've had excellent results in the charcoal kiln.
I plan to do a salt firing for our Earth day show which you can learn more about on my facebook page.
I will also be doing some large saggars this week and hope to get the gallery dish rack fully stocked by next week with my white sepia shino line.
