New pots out of the kiln...

Last Wednesday we opened the kiln. I was excited for my first two larger pots which Matt so graciously fired for me. Many thanks to the folks who came out and fired with us... Gabe, Maggie, Gloria, and Joey. Here are a few pictures of the firing and the unloading.



Me and Gabe getting serious on the overnight shift.

Kate Shelton helping out with the side stoking.

When we are at about cone 10 through out the kiln we begin to salt.

We close the dampers for a bit after we salt the kiln.


All of these larger pots are Matt's except for the two closest to the camera in the center of the last picture.
