This was my 21th firing in my little wood/soda kiln!

I hosted my first 3 day workshop during this firing. A group of 4 came up from Brooklyn and learned to glaze/wad/load and fire the kiln. A truly magical experience that I hope to do more of.

I also want to talk about my thought process moving forward when it comes to making and firing kilns. I, for many years, have made as much as I could fit into each firing. I would have between 2-3 firings 8 weeks or so and I was starting to see a larger and larger reject pile after each firing. What I am trying now is to be much more conscious of the work before it even makes it into the bisque so I am taking more time in my studio but creating significantly less work. This also means I am firing the kilns less often.

That being said, I've used this ideology for the last two firings and I have found a massive decrease in “reject’ work and I am overall much happier with the body of work.

If you have any questions about the work, the kilns, the glazes… whatever it may be. Do not hesitate to ask!
