Hugh & I's 2nd firing.

All guns a blazing :) this is our chimney puffing away about half way through our 16 hour firing.
We wait for two days to let the kiln cool down at a nice pace, then we get to start removing bricks & revealing the results. This is always an exciting time.


The results were good :) sorry about the faded photographs as the it was a very sunny day & caused problems trying to take pics.
These are some of Alan's last pieces as we have been putting a couple in each firing as we don't want to put all the eggs in one basket (just in case).



Here are some of my mice looking happy & fat, celebrating a successful firing :)
