Unloaded the Bailey glaze kiln. Some pinholes in the back row bottom shelves.

Took a load of pottery to the Volcano Art Center Gallery.

Fired the Bailey glaze kiln in 12 hours with a 30 minute reduction at the end of the firing using 11% propane.

Did a test of the stand alone cones and the cone pack cones. Cone 9 on both are similar but cone 10 on the stand alone dropped earlier than the cone pack cones. I would say about 1/2 cone difference.

Started the reduction when cone 10 of the cone pack was at 3 o’clock and ended when cone 10 completely dropped.

Finished glazing and loaded the Bailey glaze kiln for a firing tomorrow.

Unloaded the bisque kiln, sanded all pottery, waxed feet of plates, starting glazing.

Fired the Bailey bisque kiln in 12 hours 30 minutes using 7% propane. There was a 1.5 hour power interruption.
