–our birthdays and Christmas all at the same time

Posted on September 15, 2010 by RamonaPaloma.Tile

We opened the kiln on Monday, Sep 13 with our 2nd (ever) glaze firing completed! For Tracy and Soozee, the anticipation of seeing how the tiles came out is almost too much. When the kiln is firing during the wee hours of the night, we feel like little kids on Christmas morning, waiting to see what Santa has delivered.

By the time the glaze is finished being applied, so much patience, time and nurturing is invested in each individual piece. Hence, the best and worst part of high-fired ceramics is…opening the kiln–the results are always full of surprises.

Below are photos of this recent firing, shelf by shelf.
