hang10tiki it's always such joy when a project comes out of the kiln without blowing up.

===================================

Catch up photos from 3/21/19 to 3/24/19. More of the same steps of sanding, dusting, firing and washing and taking them back into the house until it's time to glaze them.

Another day in the freezing cold kiln shed sanding all of these.

The dust is getting thicker.

This is the mermaid bowl that recently cracked.

I took each piece outside after sanding and when I finished

Dan began to dust them.

We loaded the kilns bottom shelf and

top shelf and

two days later they were

ready to be unloaded.

We only wear these rubber gloves when the water is 40 degrees or colder. It gives us a small amount of comfort.

We have one plastic container for washing and the other for rinsing.

You can't see the bottom of the washing water. We can't even see or feel the dust that we scrub off except when it is in the water.
The other is for rinsing and it should stay clear if you are scrubbing really well.

All the wish items for Phase Four are adding up in the hallway. I keep them covered so that dust doesn't settle on them.

If you don't know what a Couroc Tray is you can find them on eBay. I have around 100 of them and I use them every day.

Thank you for the visit.
