| My high- tech kiln! |

| Propane gas burner. |
Set up my workstation in the garden and hoped that the neighbours had'nt hung out any washing, looked like it might rain so set everything out under a gazebo, no NOT the kiln. Lots of smoke and out of about 6 pots 1 survived, most cracked from the thermal shock, 1 blew up when I quenched upside down in the bucket, just missed me, and the nicest one made it through most of the process until I dropped it, hope the neighbours were'nt listening. Here are a few photos of my day.

Would have been nicer if I'd left the top black, next time! In fact I think that may be tomorrow. Chatted up the farmers next door to studio and they said I could use their yard to fire up next time,great news as I can then use the studio to prepare all the pots and dry them out before firing.
