I mixed 10lbs of Coma Clay, bisq yesterday. Pull them out of the kiln, slather some glaze on them, fire em up. First time to seriously test crystal results.

This week it's all about ..... glazing. My favorite. -.-

found a potential house with studio space

Glaze firing cooking after a week of glazing and an all night error last night. Kiln gods be kind!

Starting to miss my studio Been a few months since I have touched clay.

In Billings, Montana

Three months' worth of work cooling in the bisque kiln right now. I've gotta fire more often and in smaller loads! !

Kiln broken! :-( Turned my attention to glaze making research.

Get to go back to work after the Doc sidelining me for three weeks.

If anyone is interested in buying my Orton 3000 Kiln controller contact me. Pictures in Gallery. Going to put on ebay.

It is glaze firing day...I seem to forget just how hot it can get in the kiln room when the outside/combustion air is coming in at 95F+. The pots are reducing and apparently so am I

I spent the morning spraying underglaze outside (and wearing a respirator)...just so you know, attempting to 'blow away' a bug that lands on your arm doesnt work well through a mask...trust me on this

Highwater's Clay is much softer than it used to be. Or I was just getting old batches.

I have two glaze fires going and one electric bisque-ocean time is over for awhile.

posted some of my favorites from the firings of the past week in the heatwave. Very happy with these results. they are in my gallery. July 2016

Just up loaded photos of woodfiring bisque to the gallery

Second single firing! Not bad, not bad at all - apart from some warpy bowls but hey it's only throwing technique.
