This is the Old blower tip.. next to the new one. View attachment 421483

Been meaning to ask, how hot have you gotten your little kiln? My raku kiln is set up like that but I have never hi fired it.

I, personally, have only dropped 6/7 cones...

But I BELIEVE.. that @sorce has taken this same "shell", HIGHER, using similar methods.

This was a pretty regular profile with the shelves snaked pretty tightly.



Swear by more air.

This ends up being almost exactly how I arrange my draft...I thought I "felt" or experienced many of these inconsistencies that you just sketched.

Now with that new bottom shelf and furniture, I will place MORE cones "about" my first fire, this season.

Hi to "Studly Rob"
...and what accent? Why did I think you'd have an accent? (Answer: you have a better ear for the differences, and have mentioned it...)
Fun to see your greenware, but ya gotta improve you camerawork. Almost had a green audience, too!

Portrait?

Portrait?

Perhaps....probably is some peoples perception.

Perhaps....probably is some peoples perception.

T'would be hard to locate these people.. I doubt their existence.

?? I just thought it was a devil.

NO.. I meant..

The "peoples who perception" it is that you are menacing or "of ill intent" in any way...



I'd say your closer to halos than horns.

(I wrote a song, some time ago, entitled "These Horns"...

The Chorus went;

"The rain is fallin', but what should I do.

The night is violent, but the morning turns new.

I've got a Halo, It's held up by these horns.

The wind is wisdom, what it whispers is truth.

The game is painful, but the knowledge ensues.

I've got a Halo, it's held up by these horns.

...and I don't think I'll need it anymore."

Oof... typing that put me RIGHT "back there"

 

[Carol 83]

NO.. I meant..

Sometimes I need to slow down and READ. Thank you.

OkeeDokee! Got this Bad-Boy Hurr! My favorite triangle pot I've ever made.. with a glaze, NOW called, 'Lichen' (Instead of a series of Numbers and letters pertaining to a recipe in my notebook 😂). It is Iron-Rich, High-Grog Stoneware. Fired to Cone 6/7... gas-reduction. 12.5 Hour Fire. This...

Molasses Moon

Alrighty Folks! Here is a Crescent pot... Textured, with a "Molasses (I guess that's what I'm calling it 😂) " glaze, applied in "High-road fashion, in an attempt to highlight some deeper texture with the lighter color of the clay body. (Also a Buff, whols-sand glaze around that lip) For...
