My first bisque fire was successful! I just emptied it a little on the warm side (~175F) and everything seems to have fared well. I was a little concerned that Iβd have major cracking on some of the thicker pieces, but I guess they were dry enough. I have some mugs, some plates/platters, and a lot of kiln cookies and test tiles. Iβm hearing some pinging, so Iβm guessing something is going to crack, but weβll see tomorrow! Overall, Iβm happy and looking forward to glazing later this week if itβs not too hot in here.
