@ethanschoonover he tumbled the shit out of that stack jeez!

(Ok I fire electric these days and am aware wood fire gets to stack cooler than I do - but it’s still a pleasant surprise to me when I see it)

This is my first kiln firing in 1.5 years. It feels good to know that I am finally starting to get better. Although I've had to take drastic precautions and am creating in a completely different fashion to accommodate my illnesses, it feels so good to sink my hands in clay again.

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.

So, today, at last, I am kiln firing up to 1060 ℃ - hope all goes well, my third firing at home 😱 😜 😊
Trying to solve the problem of stopping the #pottery glaze dripping through the holes of these soap dishes in the #kilnfiring . Got the idea from #TheGreatPotteryThrowdown and used these red sticky dots from our #hampshireopenstudio #romseypaintandclay. Any other ideas ?
These are early #anagama #fired #stoneware piece that me and a great friend did in the early '80s. Getting ready to do our 25th #kilnfiring of a large anagram in South Central Pennsylvania #throwback #1980s #art #sculpture #ceramics #pottery #facejugs
