Update - a Win I think!
Thank you all for your kind words about the disastrous firing that ruined my kiln shelves! I had to do something because I can’t afford, nor do I have time to order, new ones right new. I took an awl and a hammer and just kept pounding away until the fired in pieces came off, taking chunks of kiln shelf with them, I dremeled all the razor sharp points down so that they wouldn’t slice my hand covered the shelves with thick kiln paper so that the glaze that is on them won’t stick to any new pieces. My bisque for next weekend fired overnight and hopefully all will be well!

@Jeanette Stevens they are an African drum. They began by using ceramic jugs/vessels as drums! I’m still not sue I have it quite right! My first one ended up looking like a bong! It dies make sounds but I glazed it which I think muffles the sound so this time we didn’t glaze. They aren’t very loud and I think less holes are better. Our thought was different openings which we would close on and off for different tones. However, Ken only put a neck and only one hole in the body and his makes the best sound. Still experimenting! Picture of my first bong UDU! I put two chambers and a neck. It makes a fairly good sound but the glaze is making it less effective.The clay needs to be porous to resonate I think.

TOTAL DISASTER!
Low fire pieces were fired to Cone 5! Totally ruined my only 2 kiln shelves and I have an event next week and can’t fire without shelves!

Youtube videos
Hey everyone, I usually try to stay pretty caught up on everyone's youtube videos, but with the surgery, my awesome visit from Ronda and a crazy week back at work this week while still struggling with energy, I am behind. I haven't forgotten about any of you and I will get caught up soon! 💙
