  1. You can also try a "candling" program. I run the kiln at 180 degrees for 8 hours. Do not go above 212 degrees (boiling temperature), and be aware of any offsets your kiln may have. Make sure your work is not too thick. Sometimes I touch the piece to my face and if it feels cool I let it sit for a while longer. It's humid now in Indiana, I can't imagine what you go through in Florida!
  2. What Babs said, exercise extreme caution Ferric Chloride fumes are very toxic.
  3. We always had "Clay Gods" or "Kiln Gods" tucked into corners, on shelves, near kilns, etc. when I was at Herron. To continue the tradition, I have one in my studio sitting on a shelf overlooking a space where I work, as well as the kilns. When I look at her it brings back fond memories. Pres, those peep hole creatures are very neat....like them!!
  4. My work has been referred to as "Machoism" in the past. Not a conscious decision, I just made what my heart told me to.
  5. I like these, the designs around them look like they are "happy". It makes me smile.
