#KilnFiring
I have a dedicated firing program just for this clay, because I love it too much to stop using it.

Results of pre-bisque drying. Lovely dry pots. Overnight programme 65°C/hr to 85° hold 4 hours. Total power used 1.1kWh!!! Cost 8.8pence!! And no fear of pots exploding in bisque firing.

Stacking the small kiln to dry out greenware. Drying programme: 65°C/hr to 85°C then hold for 4 hours. I do this overnight to make most efficient use of the national grid. Night rate for electricity is 1/4 of day time rate, so also much cheaper.

Pre-heating greenware to ensure it is dry enough to bisque fire. The weather has been cold and damp for so long, I can't be sure work will be dry. Damp pots can explode if the bisque firing progresses too quickly and water vapour can't escape.

Loaded a kiln with friends at the community studio last night. Excited to see the results in a few days. I’m trying Mayco Sand and Sea for the first time. Curious about how it will play with the other glazes I’ve got. #glaze #kilnfiring #community

Kiln is just about cooled down, from my first glaze firing! The soup tureen and ladle, tagine, most of the souvenir set, and flower sculpture from Throwdown are in, along with a few pieces I'm hoping to put in a show on Saturday! #kilnfiring #glaze #throwdown #backinbusiness #pottersofbluesky

Guess who is getting her #fairy #glamour on? Yep, working on the first #kilnfiring and #chinapainting for Ellie and Meeher. This is my favorite part of the #dollmakingprocess

What a fun piece to #glaze! I did two dips in the #HoneyFlux, some #SmokyMerlot - #brush application, followed with two dips in the #BlueRutile. And now it is ready for the #kiln again... Stay tuned! 😉

I love glazeshare.com
It takes a minute to add all of the details of your piece - #claytype, #glaze layers, #kilnfiring details, etc., but it is such a great way to document and share your #potteryart. Consider joining #glazeshare!

Iron Lustre over Honey Flux on Top of Cobalt
This piece is fired twice. The first firing (after bisk) was a double-dip Cobalt Blue. The second firing was a single Honey Flux dip with brush-applied Iron Lustre on the edges of the plate.

I do love that before and after of a colorful kiln firing. I love how glazes lie to you. Before, they all look pastel, and light. But after firing? SO VIBRANT; MUCH COLOR. Love, love, love it.

First bisque firing in my new kiln! Quite an amazing new technology even compared to five years ago. Fingers crossed 🤞#kiln #kilnfiring #pottery #potterystudio #ceramics #ceramik #ceramique #fingerscrossed #technology #kilnsitter #clayart #potter
