Today I fired my soda kiln. It was a long day at the studio.
A long day of firing. A long day of firing the kiln.
A long & productive day of cleaning & organizing my studio.
The day starts early in the morning with blue flames going in…
And ends with a lot of orange flames shooting out… exaggerated by the addition of the soda mixture, and flaring out of the reduction environment seeking the oxygen!
It’s always exciting to fire a kiln and know that soon you’ll be seeing the pieces you’ve created finally done. You’ve worked on things for so long. Throwing. Stamping. Trimming. Firing. Glazing. And finally firing again. One step closer to the finished product.
