Every piece of equipment must be washed clean, the wheels, stools, tables are moved outside and the floor is hosed down.
- Floor is super clean!
- Tables are clean
- Bats clean and back in order
- Glaze room clean
- Kiln room swept
- Final bisque kilns unloaded
- Reduction kiln unloaded
- Floor is drying – wheels are back underneath the tables
- Left over clay
We unloaded the reduction kiln which was a great firing. The salt – not so great. The kiln went into reduction too early and thus the clay was reduced which affected the glazes. Clay bodies were gray with pitted and crawled glazes. The worst were the celadon glazes.
That is the way it is with ceramics. Just move on and make some more pieces.
