Last kiln before Monday's departure. After they finish the first, bisque, firing I inspect and clean up each pot. I then wash the pots and give them one coat of clear glaze. Now they are ready to go into a kiln that slowly ramps up to approx. 2200 degrees F. Then I sit on my hands and wait for it to cool down to a reasonable temperature to open it and unload. Every kiln is like Christmas morning. I'm hoping to finish glazing and loading quickly so I can go play with the hub!
