  1. What an auspicious date for a first firing! Hot air balloons, a spectacular kiln,and talent all in a beautiful setting….what a wonderful life you have…and a fantastic kiln load of lovelies!

  2. Oh I am green…..GREEN with envy! It’s beautiful! So even, great color, no icky soot marks. Like an engineer built the thing it’s so pristine. Makes you wonder how you limped along in my kiln for so long! Congrats!

  3. Thanks all! I’m still in awe of it myself. Waited a long time for this kiln – and Elaine, don’t know what I would have done without yours – miss coming down to glaze and seeing what you are up to terribly!

  4. Beautiful! I think you’ve sparked a run on kilns all by yourself. . . or at least wishes for kilns. Congratulations on an excellent firing.

  5. Beautiful work and kiln! Those are some impressive shelves if they won’t sag with the corner cantilevered out so much – do you have to flip the shelves every firing?

  6. Terry! I gasped with wonder at the pre- and post- firing photos….So lovely and exciting, I felt as if I actually was standing there.

    Aren’t you thrilled and proud? You certainly deserve this incredible studio and kiln. Go you! Make great stuff.
