Spring is almost here.  Thousands of  Sandhill Cranes are gathering along the feeding grounds of the Platte River in central Nebraska before continuing on to Canada.   
I finally did something related to  the event. 

Very first batch of low fire clay pieces.  All loaded onto a 5X5 inch kiln shelf.  I have a Paragon SC2 kiln that I named Miss Piggy.  I use it often to anneal steel rods for making stamps and I fire metal clay silver and bronze.  
This first bisque firing was thrilling!  15 hours, very conservative ramp rate.  Like the first time trying to dress a newborn, I was being super careful.
