Just completed a ware firing yesterday and I'm pretty excited about it.
I still have a *really* long way to go, but this firing was very
different for me.
There were no exploded pots.
There were no S-cracks.
There was no crazing, dunting, shivering or bits of kiln wash in the
bottom of pots.

While there were some unspectacular results, there were no
I-need-to-kill-that-pot-NOW results, and there were some pieces that I
am actually excited about.
Have a look if you like...
