Volcano, Hawaii
Unloaded the Bailey glaze kiln and reloaded the Bailey kiln for a glaze fire tomorrow. The 2 Corelite shelves worked great with no visible distortions and the pottery doesn’t stick to the shelves at all.
Sanded the fired pottery and packed the Lawai order for FedEx pickup tomorrow.
Finished glazing and will load the Bailey glaze kiln tomorrow after unloading the glaze kiln.
Fired the Bailey glaze kiln in 12 hours with a 20 minute reduction at the end. Used 13% propane. Thermocouple on the pyrometer failed near the end of the firing (1 wire corroded and broken inside of the protective ceramic sleeve).
Started to glaze all remaining bisque pottery to be included in a inventory glaze firing on Wednesday.
Finished glazing and loaded the Bailey kiln mostly with the remainder of the Lawai order for a glaze firing tomorrow.
Took a load of pottery to the VAC Gallery.
Two Corelite kiln shelves (12″ x 24″ x 1″) bought from Clay Art Center in Tacoma arrived in good shape via USPS.
Started glazing pottery.
