A look at the shanty shack housing my kiln LOL

my latest kiln opening showing the good AND the bad.........

This is a video of my latest kiln opening. I hope you find it interesting. Most of the glazes are from Mastering Cone 6 Glazes.

The bottom half of the kiln - and some photos of my favourite pieces.

Encountered a few hiccups, discovered my pyrometer doesn't work, I stacked the pots on right side of the kiln....the peep hole is on the left. LOL But no mishaps, so I'm a happy camper.

Not the most fun kiln opening I ever had. My idea of making maks for everyone has been SUNK. Hopefully, I can salvage one for Matt, who was so kind to make the drawing for me!

Part 1 of 2 of opening my first glaze firing in my new kiln. The pieces have been fired to 1360 degrees Celcius

I couldn't wait to open this first of the glaze firings in my new kiln. Sorry for the restart in numbering, but I want to count for this kiln, not for me personally.

Opening kiln 42. Seems I have missed posting a few openings. Let me know if you want to see them, and I will sift through my old footage and find some.

Opening kiln 30 - fired to 1050 C - that's 1922 F for you unmetrics ;-)

Finally, I have fired the vases and other stuff. Sadly, that big ball didn't fit into the kiln with the vases. But some cool stuff anyway.

The results of the firing.

Showing you what the glazed stuff looks like before it is fired. Will be uploading film of the results as well.

Mainly just a first firing, but a few glazed pieces as well. This kiln was fired up to 1050 degrees Celcius - which is "only" 1922 degrees Farenheit.
