The Kiln is Filling Up

The progress continues with more glazing and stacking.  











The kiln is twenty feet long and seven feet high at the top of the arch.  











Ken has nearly finished stacking the cars or trolleys and has moved into the kiln to stack the shelves along the sides.











Here is today's view looking in ...















And looking from the inside out.


He places pots close together, but with enough room between the pots that the flame and ash can travel through the kiln.









There are still a few pots...











....And a few spaces left as well.












But the kiln is filling up quickly.

  1. I'm really enjoying these photos of the process. When are you going to fire? Do you need some kiln-tending help?
