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

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.

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! 😉

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.

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.

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.
