Mar 12 2017 Kiln News

There’s a lot of greenware, so I’m going to load a bisque kiln tonight. Plus, I’ve got the pieces from this class, so I’ll be loading another bisque kiln Thursday. I’ll be making sure that all the pieces from the class are dry, so it may be Friday before I load it. There will be a glaze kiln behind it.

Bisque kiln is out and on the shelves. Look around a bit – I had to get creative. I need to put more stuff from the bottom shelf in a box, I think.

I’ll be checking moistness tonight to see about the next bisque kiln. Chances are good that I’ll wait until Thursday to load the next bisque kiln.

Friday when I unload bisque I’ll assess the glaze shelf. If it’s full, I’ll go ahead and load glaze. Otherwise I’ll be running a glaze kiln Sunday after the last hand-building class glazes their pieces. That will happen regardless of an earlier glaze kiln.

I looked at my note, and I had said Monday, so I’ll load up a glaze kiln Monday.

I’m planning on running another bisque kiln next Thursday (March 23) to get in the pieces from the throwing class. They’ll have a glaze setup probably on Sunday March 26, and then we’ll run another glaze kiln.

Glaze kiln is running.

A bisque kiln will be loaded Thursday late evening. That should give you time if you trim a piece Tuesday, it might be dry enough. Maybe.

There may be a glaze kiln loaded next Monday if one of two conditions occurs:

  1. Anybody from the last classes glazes their piece
    (all class items will be bisqued after the Thursday bisque kiln comes out)
  2. Y’all glaze enough stuff that the kiln will be at least mostly full.

Glaze kiln is unloaded.

@Julie-Harris – your pendants are kind of in the middle of the shelf behind some tall stuff. I may move them to the front when I get back to the Space tonight.

Bisque kiln to be loaded Thursday night.
