This week I’ve also been working on our other little kiln;
this one is still set up as a down draft.
I took off about half the thickness of the soft brick on the walls in
hopes that this will allow more airflow while firing which should allow the
fuel to combust more efficiently and we might be able to reach much higher
temperatures. This is exciting because
we might be able to glaze some work that has been sitting around. I’m going to test what temperatures I can get
with this kiln and the properly working burners, and then see what kinds of
glazes we can make for that temperature range.
I’m also working on some large bowls that came out a few
firings ago:
I started banding these bowls:
And next I will add some designs around the rims and a nice
picture in the middle. My idea for these
bowls is to hang them on the wall, so I threw a catch on the back side so it
will sit on a nail. We’ll see how that
works, but I think they will look nice hanging on a wall.
