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.

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

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

The results of my first glaze kiln. Some disappointments, but overall okay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'll starting to make my own glazes, so I made myself a little glaze station.

A look at the shanty shack housing my kiln LOL

A quick tour of my work space.
