Grogged stoneware has some lovely qualities but you need to use ribs to throw with or you'll end up with no skin on your fingers

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.
