I, with the help of a few, fired off the baby kiln. First the top was too hot ...then the bottom was too cold....then visa versa....then I was in reduction when I was not supposed to be in reduction....and on and on it went. I came to the conclusion that firing a kiln is kinda like having giving birth to a child....its alot of pain in the process and you question why you are doing it, but the end result is worth it! Opening up that kiln, even if some of the pots were not a "success," has to be the best thing in the world! I am addicted, but I already knew that!
