Kiln Opening

When i first subscribed to blogger.com, their photo uploader was excellent. I could put photos in the order i wanted them with proper visual spacing. Then during the summer my computer went down and it's taken me this long to replace the computer, only to discover that blogger changed its photo application perimeters !!! This new system stinks !!! Find myself spending more time just trying to get photos to display the way i want them than it did to film the photos, off-load them from the camera and download them to the computer and disk !!! Am so frustrated right now for i've spent the last 20 minutes just trying to get the photos to upload in the series of occurrances !!!

This is the first time i've thought to take photos of a completed bisque firing in the inside of the kiln! This load had several tall pots, so it was loaded to accomodate those. There were 3 layers of pots on the other side of them. Fired to 1828 degrees yesterday. Unloaded shortly before noon today.

Happy Kilning Days Folks

Recommended Pottery Suppliers

Bailey Pottery Equip Corp: at http://www.baileypottery.com OR call (800) 431-6067 and speak with Susan. I would do more business with this company except it is out on the east coast and shipping fees to the Pacific Northwest are spendy.
Bullseye Glass Co: at http://www.bullseyeglass.com OR call (888) 220-3002. This is a great company to do business with! Very friendly and helpful. For those of you who wish to incorporate glass into your clay products, i highly recommend this company.
Clay King Company: at http://www.clay-king.com OR call (888) 838-3625 and speak with Chris Williams who is extremely patient with all your questions. He's a dear. The company consistently sells major pottery equipment at below market price. They are punctual in shipping, efficient (emailing receipts and tracking #'s immediately) and just a lovely group to work with.
Coyote Clay & Color: at http://www.coyoteclay.com OR call (866) 344-2250 and speak with Martin. Their speciality is Cone 6 glazes.
Georgies Ceramic & Clay Company: at http://www.georgies.com OR call (800)999-2529. This company produces awesomely versatile clay.
Paragon Kiln Company: I would not recommend this company. Bought a brand new electric digital-programmer kiln from them and 4 months later it stopped functioning correctly. They do not stand behind their products and their "warranty" is a joke.
U.S. Pigment Corp: at http://www.uspigment.com OR call (800) 472-9500 and speak with Saheeb. This company sells hard-to-find oxides and has reasonable prices. Saheeb is a joy to work with and seems to genuinely care about you and your success.
