  1. Thank you. Yea the speckle is coming from the iron in the stoneware body being brought to the surface in the reduction firing. They all just have the same white glaze on but have different amounts of reduction. Wish I still had access to this kiln
  2. First time I have done a proper cone test in my kiln. Turns out the bottom is hotter than the top. Weird. I guess that big gap between the lid and body needs to be filled!

      I lived on the south coast for 3 years so I am used to it :D Where people believe anything past London is north.

      Only when you go past Watford are you "up north". Says the southern softie daughter of a Geordie.

  3. After three successful glaze firings without any of the wires getting hot I finally trust that the kiln is fixed! Happy days. Time to start making money

      My kilngod effigies have been reduced to sitting on a shelf as they were not very good at protecting the kiln. They glare at me from afar but I just laugh and start quoting V=IR

      don't tempt them, you may need them in future, even if just to cuss!

  4. Stuck at work on night shift... Anybody got some links to good ceramics reading online? I feel like I have read everything I can find.

      I love to look at youtube kiln opening videos and learn about glaze results people have. I get inspiration and start drawing out ideas.
