So today we worked on the kilns, using Alumina castable. Created filler and morter with firebrick. Basically the body of the kilns are a go. Tomorrow we will deal with burners for the kilns. You can see the use of soft brink below.
So ya, we learned a lot and frankly not just about converting our electric kiln. A lot of this makes the actual kiln build from scratch look very doable.
Below you can see us forming a lid. BTW, doing is square is a better, faster and easier way.
A gave you a flash of her work from yesterday. Here are greenware pieces.
I haven't made masks in a while. I really really like masks. I really think a more variegated, or inconsistent glaze look is better for masks. So a soda fire is a great idea. I really need to make more for raku. For the record, that is a coyote. A badly made one, but a coyote.
