That's what I've been doing for the past three days and I'm going cross eyed! There are lots of pots, lots and lots of glazing! My glazing seems to take forever, but that's usually because I wait until the last minute to do it right before the firing and then I have about 4 bisque kiln loads of bisqueware to glaze all at once! Talk about overwhelming!Tomorrow I'll finish up and wad all the pots and then load the kiln up on Thursday and fire Friday! Whew!

Hi friend! I am loving my twilight cup! By the way, what does "wad all the pots" mean?
I heard the article made it into the Mitchell paper about the footbridges, but I haven't (obviously) seen it yet. I've also decided to wait on calling DOT about what we saw. Better to fight that battle from the homefront rather than a distance.
Hope you're well!

"to wad" means to place three small bean sized balls of clay mixed with alumina (a soda resistant material) to the bottom of each piece before loading it into the soda kiln. this way the soda doesn't stick the pot to the shelf, and you can always tell a soda/salt or wood fired pot by the three white marks on the bottom of each piece. ha...guess to someone who doesn't know, to wad sounds like I'm throwing all the pots in the corner or something....
i'll try to find the paper, missed it today, big loading day tomorrow, (thursday!) hope you're having fun!
