Kelly in AK Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Gorgeous. I cannot tell you how much this warms my heart. Thank you. At school in the electric kiln a touch of copper and a trace of 6600 does the job. In my home studio, cone 6 reduction soda, your work on glazes helped launch me on an odyssey of believing it was possible. Just a bit of iron, 2%. I’ve come a long way since. Thank you. I’m not alone in saying this: Like it or not, you’re a rock star. (Sorry if this is off topic!)

Denice Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I also have it my glaze book but I don't remember the 20 minute hold. What temperature do you hold it at? I bought myself a XL Caldera test kiln recently, I have already ran 20 test firings. Using it has inspired me to buy a new kiln. I bought a kiln several years ago for $300, it had only been fired once, there is a lot of things I don't like about it. I think I will start shopping after I get my new mural fired.

Pres Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Retired. . . .who is retired. . . . Seems like I am settling well into another life, bowling 3 times a week, just getting ready to start restocking shelves in the library for more reading, have heat replacement to install in the shop, and undecorating for Christmas yet to complete. Seems like I work more now than when in my past life. best, Pres Marcia Selsor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) that previous life went by at 100 miles and hour, you were too busy to notice all the things you do now as separate from the old daily rat race. now you have a few more minutes to notice that you still have to work. the new work is called "chores" and are with us forever. we all need time to look around at how beautiful life can be if we just sit down and breathe once in a while.
