Tonight I loaded another electric bisque kiln. With some larger pieces to fit in, it’s always a little tougher to “pack it tight” like I love to do. And sadly, I didn’t have my usual “arsenal” of kiln filler to fill in all the holes!
Kiln Layer #1 – upside-down cake plates, mugs, cruets and ornaments.
Kiln Layer #2 – more upside-down cake plates, bowls, mugs and two tumblers.
Kiln Layer #3 – A short layer of ovals & ikebanas.
Kiln Layer #4 -Bowls, wall pocket vases, mugs, ikebanas, tumblers and an oval.
As I got closer to the top, I did have to do some creative stacking, or should I say “tumbling” to get a little more squeezed in. You know there’s always room for just a couple more… as long as the lid closes, right?!!!
