I have new things to share. I've put a bunch in my shop but thought you might like to see some here. I like this teapot, well balanced, pours excellent









Then here's a few tea cups







I'm planning one more firing around the beginning of December. Can't wait to try the new kiln again!

Cheers,
Bill

I just completed my first "real" firing. The other one in October was a workshop where many people were involved in the firing. This one was 19 hours and I put cone 12 over completely. I have included a couple of pics from the firing and one quick pic from a still very warm kiln. I have quite a few tea ware items



What some people don't realize is that wood kilns have a neutral carbon foot print. They put back the same amount the tree roots took out of the soil. The particles are heavy and fall back to the ground and are recycled by the new plants and trees, as told to me by a chemistry professor.





The last hours of firing...



The turquoise came out stunner!

I'll be back with more... oh and everything is 20% off until Christmas...

Hi everyone,
Sorry to have been "gone" so long. I had a terrible accident...slipped and fell and had my 900# trailer land on me and I broke 5 ribs and my shoulder blade. OUCH!!!
I started catching up with all the work I had started earlier in the winter and just fired 19 1/4 hours. Friday (7:00am) to part of Saturday morning (3:15am).

I have pictures!









More to come
