A Kiln Full of Red


Today is a very nice cool and breezy day. I enjoy days like this best of all !
Today i am going to fire my kiln full of red bisqware. This is what it looks before the glaze firing. By tomorrow morning it will cool enough to open and see what treasures the kiln beholds. I have 2 types of red glazed items in the kiln today. I will see which red I like the best or if i like them equally . I am firing at ^o6 on a fast firing with the peep holes open . It should take around 5 hours for it to reach temperature. I will not open the kiln again until tomorrow after it has cooled down enough to handle the pieces by hand. I will post a picture of the results here tomorrow.
