    First day of Open Studio went very well. I'll take some pictures tomorrow (Sun) and post in the gallery.

    Glaze or bisque firing almost every day this week. Big push to finish EVERYTHING in time for my Open Studio which starts Saturday. :)

    If anybody is coming to the Central Coast for the Open Studios, message me! I'd love for you to come by! I'll be participating both weekends (October 8,9 and 15,16).

    tools, stamps, more wire shelves
    So much of my studio storage was found by the side of the road and other salvage. Love it.

    I love those tackle boxes for organizing stamps and other tiny tools.

    We use pyrometric bars. Have you readjusted and reached max flux capacitance yet? Lol Nope I'm not touching my dad's kiln. I would probably be lured to the dark side. I will learn soon enough when I finally get mine hooked up.

    I have two weeks till Open Studio and I think I'm getting sick! :(:( I have 26 mugs and several other pieces wrapped in plastic, waiting to be handled and carved, as well as 40+ other pieces that are dry and ready to be fired.

    Try adjusting the sitter: http://www.hotkilns.com/how-do-i-adjust-my-kiln-sitter It's not my kiln, it's my dads. I have never personally done any kiln maintenance on it, but I do know that he adjusted it already. It was firing to Cone 7 or 8 when it was set to Cone 5. Now it fires to Cone 6 when set to Cone 5. LOL I generally use that big kiln for bisque and then do my glaze firing in smaller batches in the other one, which is a Duncan Teacher-Plus.

    My dad has a Jenkins kiln that someone bought, never fired once, and then sold 35 years later. He replaced the coils and that thing runs like a beast. It's in beautiful condition. He's planning to spring the money to convert it to automatic since currently we have to turn it up every hour for the first three hours and it also tends to fire a tad hot. Still, for a 35 year old kiln that's impressive. Incidentally my dad is almost 70 and he can outwork me any day of the week. Seems he found the proper kiln.

    Thanks! I wouldn't have thought of making little animals but I started it for my son and from there it's a slippery slope.
