Ok, I finally remembered to bring the camera home and downloaded the picture of the first of our Big Pot experiments. This one is about 24 inches tall. That is a three pound coffee can beside it.
We can only go to 36 inches with our kilns so another foot taller will about do it. Of course we could put a really tall lid on top!
We mailed an order to an Ontario retailer today. We ordinarily ship by bus but this shop specified post. It doesn’t really make much difference to us as either way works. We have had effectively zero breakage or loss with either method. I must admit I have learned a thing or two about packing pottery in the past 5 years. Since neither method provides any insurance against breakage I like to say my packing is our insurance.
Cindy trimmed some pots and assembled goblets, I unloaded the bisque kiln and waxed the pots from it, then Cindy glazed those pots and we loaded the 10 cu ft for firing. I built a slab plate for an order and we called it an afternoon. Kids had to be at an interview for jobs at Klondike Days Exhibition so we quit early and delivered them.
Tomorrow Cindy is going to throw some rice bowls and tea cups for an internet order, I’m going to build some platters and we may even have a bit of play time. Doing some inventing for new looks and ways of doing things.
Should be fun.
