So today I started a fire, warmed up the studio. I threw some bowls, had a few casualties. The reclaim clay is still very soft but throwable. I am doing 2# bowls, I fear throwing something larger would not work given how soft they are. Not my best work, but I am getting bak into the groove.
It really felt good to be usung the kickwheel again. It is so much more comfortable on it then the electric wheel.
A second soda fire was done at Cup & Bowl yesterday. Multiple pieces which included my other two bowls i had set aside. I looked up more information and I am reay for the next fire to have a different application of soda and to have a flashing slip on the pots.
Lastly, based on this... i need a 9 gallon + propane tank. I am going to convert the electric kiln I have into a gas kiln for soda firing and reduction firing. I will clearly have fo wait as I cannot afford this yet.
