wish I had a mini kiln for tests
-
ebay, Craig's List, garage sale, estate sell, etc. There's on out there waiting for you. Never give up looking.

get a copy of Ian Gregory's Kiln book. I forget the exact name of it, but it has all types of little test kilns. I want to do the soda kiln.
-
thank you! Heading back to my warm bed now- that getting up early & kiln shelf scraping has me needing to hibernate. -
yes we are lucky! Definitely want to go back, plus I think Callie was having a real hard look - lots of potters have moved there because of the facilities. -

From the album: Medicine Hat Soda Kiln
The bit of pink flashing at the top was from some oribe in the kiln. Some mix of flashing slips??? The taco debris looks like a mineral depost of tuffa or something from a black smoker! -

Kevin's flashing slip and Gail Nichols soda slips and who knows what else- I have to start keeping better records. clay mix of H550 stoneware that fires white and H440 brown high temp. stoneware. -
yes we did! tired though- its a 2-3 hr drive so no more pictures till tomorrow. Btw- this is the crazy clay of recycled H-550 with two cups of custer & two cups of Grolleg but I don't have a measurement on the volume of H-550 that was in the 5 gal bucket- maybe 3/4 full?

Half & half?

We soaked some of the port bricks after adding soda tacos in order to provide water vapour to the soda glaze process. -

We had the kiln in reduction sometimes. -

Putting soda tacos into the side ports. We added quite a bit of the soda-ash-light,baking soda and calcite mix to this firing. Did i mention that it was -20 C out here yesterday, plus windchill? Not as cozy as my kiln at home but then again my kiln is not a soda kiln and Medalta is more than worth the drive and discomfort of January! -
the soda tacos worked- have to wait till Sunday to open the kiln.

I made a stamp of some trees, mixed it with a purchased tree stamp and poked a lot of holes in the porcelain. Wasn't sure how to spell the word Picotee- doesn't it need an accent over one of the e's? This one is my ode to xc skiing, when its snowing but very quiet- i.e. all you can hear are your skis in the snow. -
The only thing I can't figure out is why there are drops of clear dark green glaze on the side of the bottom left mug. -

It worked! The black even has some shadows- like a puppet show- have to come up with some different sorts of patterns to try next. -
It worked! I only had one piece separate at the contact between the black & white clay and you can't see it - it was another lamp behind the two up top. It was a landscape type pattern and it was a land/water edge that separated- I think I'll keep it. -

mixing black clay (20% iron oxide) with translucent white porcelain- didn't check the shrinkage first so this is a gamble.
