Yes, I finally fired the kiln! Prior to child number 2, I fired the kiln at least 2-3 times a month or more. After child number 2, I think I've only fired it a handful of times. Anyway, I did a glaze firing with some interesting results. I tried a new glaze or two and used a bunch of Mayco's reptilian green on some bisque frogs I had. The reptilian green turned out very cool.
If I hadn't played so hard out in the garden today, I would be toting a 50# bag of fresh clay down in the basement. I haven't had fresh clay to play with for a while, so throwing hasn't been possible. Now, that I'm really thinking about it, I may just throw tired aches aside and go throw a chunk of clay. I wonder if I can even remember how?!
