In the day and in the dark, thanks.

Thanks for noticing the special jar, made 2 summers back, in his day. Thier form nice strong, bold rugged unkept looks, exuding an artistic poetic character. I'll be firing up the grill and the kiln, enjoy your too.

Always glad to hear you have clay, only need a little to do something good. Don't know how to tell him I'm OK, he really wants to save me.🐶

I might try it your way, most likely no easy way out. Glad to know if in trouble in the water I will be helped out.

After 25 years of being a sculptor using extruded clay drainage and chimney tiles- Coordinator, instructor for pipe sculpture workshop at Logan Clay, after travel and expenses to plant not much left after the great experience. Built an adobe sculpture at a festival in Israel another amazing life experience, came up $300.00 short of allotted budget. Prestige of sculpture being shown in galleries then large outdoor works put out to pasture. Such a novelty now to actually sell my work. I am so enjoying being the country potter at the farmer's market. Glad your grinning, I am too.

Kiln repair and potter told me just put all straight on high. Here is what I do and has works for me. Turn up one notch each hour. 1-bottom low 2-bottom medium top low 3-bottom high top medium 3-top high, after that glaze take about 5 hours. Glaze problems can occur when to fast or too long, age of elements can affect firing length. Glad to know you're watching. So many are layering glazes so thick and heavy like 1070's ashtrays and lamps. It's not bad but I thought we didn't like those things.
