Kilns & Misc. Announcements

I think we're mostly caught up on the backlog of bisque and glaze that had been hanging around waiting for me to fix the elements in the big kiln.

Glaze was unloaded Wednesday and most of it looks great! There were a couple of pots that ran and bubbled a little, and I think that's mostly due to the fact that we're not quite used to the big kiln firing properly! It's been a long time since it's had maintenance.

There are a few greenware pieces accumulating again, which we'll bisque as soon as they'll fill a kiln.

While I'm on the topic of greenware, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not pick up anything that isn't yours. If you're just dying to know who made something, wait until it's bisqued!!!

This past Monday, a really nice bowl with very thin walls was picked up by the rim and broken. So again, don't pick stuff up if it isn't yours. If you have to pick something up to move it out of the way, pick it up by the bottom, with two hands, and cradle it carefully. Greenware is very very fragile!
