Well.... its been a month since NEOS ended and I've only just recovered!
We all had a great week where the weather really was amazing in a rather idyllic setting...
Along with the usual selling, banter and business, I managed to get my first Raku work fired in the New Kiln.... after a bit of trouble with the burner, the chaps at Northern Kilns told me an easy fix and we were on our way!
This was the first firing, attended by the lovely Happy Accident Co who also helped out.
The pieces were at about 1000C when we took off the lid and proceeded to take out the pieces and pop them in the sawdust bin to reduce and smoke for 20 mins...
the pieces were then taken home to be cleaned. I was going to take proper photographs of the finished pieces but.... they all sold very well!
C'est La Vie.....
only slightly cleaned...
inside the box you can see where the copper has reduced and turned red/ petrolly
drying out the pieces on top of the firing kiln...
