Now retired from 30+ years in behavioral health services, I am back to enjoying and making art. I hold a BFA in ceramics from VCU's School of the Arts (Virginia Commonwealth University). I have set up a small, functional, in-home studio, with an L&L Easy-Fire on the back porch. In addition to clay, I'm interested in painting, photography, and writing.

Posted some Gallery pics from my recent single fire-I am sold on that method, at least for some things!

  Just out of curiosity, when did the double firing method begin? 20th c?

  From what I have been told it started in the large pottery factories in England (?) when breakage by less skilled workers became an issue. Bisque firing means less loses than single firing. Don't know if that is true but it sounds right.

  The books say that you have to bisque fire first when applying glaze. Nonsense. I just did 2 single firings (high fire) without problems either for the clay or the glaze. Perfect firings. I can understand that you are happy with single firings, Lee.
