Finally bisque fired the boys ! 2 out of 3 are looking good. The first / bottom one ended up warping real bad, and because I didn't lift up the kiln shelf enough / add a baffle brick one side of it got BLASTED, literally looks cone 6 crispy. I am slightly worried that it stuck to the brick that sitting inside of it. But we will deal with that when I unload. I had this plan to cover the clay with that beautiful black flux glaze to make it look latex, but damn when you see that pretty terra cotta come out you wan to leave it the fuck alone ! Another day where I completely exhaust myself !!
the wood kiln shift was 8am-4pm. I got a sun burn :( But I am proud of myself and Autumn holding it down for 8 hours !! I spent like 30 minutes totally alone with the old kiln and it was literally trial by fire.
