Hi there. I'm finally feeling better after a long flu/cold. I'm looking forward to running my kiln in the next couple days. My last during was a disaster after one of my shelves broke during firing. Here are the before and after pictures.

Pottery friends how in the heck do you get plates off plates off bats without wiring thru. I am about to just start hand building them.

Georgies Scotch Pine always fails me. I have given up on this glaze. It sends to be too thick, and when it drys it always cracks. Then the result out of the kiln is splotchy.

Kiln loading adventures! 🙈 Yesterday two of my serving platters didn’t survive because I grabbed them from the sides – lesson learned: never trust my clumsy hands! 😂 But hey, at least one platter made it through, and I’ll call that a win. 💪✨ The kiln gods just wanted their share, I guess. Did any of you have losses in the studio this week too? 🙈 Sometimes things break, crack, or just don’t turn out as planned – part of the pottery journey, right?

With this kiln I had two broken pieces (a plate and a mug). Both were glazed with COYOTE Gun Metal Green. I never had such experiences with this glaze. I fired it to a hot cone 6. What about you?
