O'Keefe Pottery
This past weekend I helped Lara O'Keefe fire her kiln, along with Julie Jones, Joseph Sands, and husband Jimmy. Jimmy and I did the overnight and then the other help arrived in the morning. This is a great little kiln that Will Ruggles designed and it fired beautifully. Below are a few pictures from the firing. From peaking through the door and side ports it looked like there was a great load of pots in there. Hat's off to Lara for making it all happen...

Are you using a leaf blower with a steel pipe duct taped to it to add soda? That is good old fashinoed ingenuity right there. Can't wait to see the finished pots.
Yes Rob...that is a leaf blower with a stainless steel attachment that Lara is blowing salt into the kiln with. I don't know who the first person to use the leaf blower was but the first person I saw do it was Mark Hewitt. Its a good way of introducing a HUGE amount of salt into the kiln in a relatively easy and time efficient manner.
