So, firing number three went smoothly. I sprayed in less soda in shorter bursts, fired without closing up the damper (less reduction), packed a light properly stacked load, did TONS of research regarding firing schedules, and begged the kiln gods to be nice to me.
Finally some work I can be proud of:
Colors were bright, beautiful flashing, glazes did what they were supposed to and I am finally feeling like this whole long kiln building experience has been worth every arduous stressful heartbreaking moment!
Couldn't be more pleased! Already on my way to filling another load.
Thank you to everyone who helped me find supplies, shared their knowledge/expertise, and encouraged me (again and again) not to give up. This load of gorgeous pots was because of you!
