Kiln Opening - July 27, 2015

It was a warm summer day here in Ottawa, the temperature was around 35 degrees Celsius with humidity and with risk of thunderstorm.  And I decided that it was a good time to start the kiln.  :)  It was really hard to say NO when there is a full kiln load of pieces. 


So this afternoon, the kiln had cool down to 119F.......kiln opening time!


Top shelf

3rd shelf
2nd shelf with 2 plates
Bottom shelf


I am quite happy with the result, although the top shelf was still a bit too hot to turn Mysterious Blue a bit green.

Pottery girl has been quite productive

Like I mentioned last time, since I didn’t have a show in December and didn’t spend much time outside this winter, I was able to spend more time in the studio. As a result, I actually have some finished pieces ready! I opened the kiln earlier this afternoon for my second glaze firing of the year (can you believe my 2nd glaze firing in April, this has never happened before)—here they are (sorry about the lighting…). The bottom shelf, the initial picture didn't work out and I had to take another one 2nd shelf with pieces that I did slip trail.  This is my first time doing this and I quite like the result. 3rd shelf  Top shelf  I’ve also been trying out a new look for my mug handles, but they didn’t make it into this firing. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next update!

Last firing before the show

One last firing before the show, and I’m happy to say that every piece turned out beautifully.
