Preparing for the Next Firing
It’s time again to fire the big anagama kiln. We’ve got another good group together and we’ve been going up on weekends working on wood. Lots of cabinet off-cuts to cut down, big wood to split and pots to make.It is lots of work but come unloading day it will all seem worth it (at least we hope so!). Here are some pics of the last firing. We will light the kiln around Feb 12 and fire for 5 days, working in shifts, stoking continuously. It is a smaller group, so more work for everyone but it keeps it intimate, we get more pots per person in and get to take some chances. I’m worried about getting enough pots made but I always do and somehow we always manage to fill it up.
