A small sample of the club work we loaded today into 'big mumma'...the planning and execution of this kiln has gone on for years and finally here we go this saturday the big fire up!! We'll be taking it slowly as there's quite a bit of stored moisture in there..in the works and in the kiln itself..
There's a good combo of work from most of our clay clubees and some pieces have been waiting patiently to get toasted! and yes it did mostly fit in....happy firing chaps...
a great Buddha sitting there- is he handmade- he must be- nice one!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun - to finally fire work that's been waiting patiently. Hope it's a good one!
ReplyDeletehey meredith he sure is and been waiting patiently on a benchtop for a very long time he's pre firing aged! a piece by belinda she's very talented and no doubt will be there saturday..
ReplyDeletehey judy should be a fun, long day..pics later...
That looks like fun. What an array of work. i can just sense the anticipation of waiting for those to come out of the kiln. Hope it all goes well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the firing, some nice pieces there. That buddha must be something to lift.

That's some kiln god! Some fantastic pieces there, good luck with the first firing, your last post inspired me to get that old pot belly shifted into my studio, and to have a sort out.
ReplyDeletehowdy ali, ooh yeh get it in there, it makes the studio so inviting on those freezing cold days!
ReplyDeleteThat is a mighty fine Buddha - did he fit? He looks nearly as big as the kiln itself - are you crafting perspective trickery?
ReplyDeletehey C yes i am messing with perspective!! he is big though and did fit on the left side in that space available...
ReplyDeletehi ang, good luck with the "big mumma"... good to see that the reshuffling is complete, makes me think i should do the same.
