Firing

I'm firing the first of 2 kilns today for a project that's going into the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art at the beginning of October. I should have taken a snapshot of the kiln after it was loaded - will have to take one to post on Monday when I unload.
Firing is always an exciting experience - filled with eager anticipation, and always a bit of dread. I do gas reduction firings and that basically means that the results are never 100% certain. (One of these days I'll do a post that explains a lot more about firings.) Also, because of the way that I build my sculptures - the tubes trap air and moisture - there is always a slight possibility that one of them won't survive.
Monday evening will tell the tale!
