Just finished an 05 bisque firing on my Skutt 1027. Seemed strange that the firing was 2 hrs & 30 min shorter than what I normally do. I don't usually pack the kiln for a bisque, but this time I had a lot of work so packed it pretty tight and full. I'm thinking the amount of ware held heat better, thus a faster firing. Any comments appreciated.

The annual Texas Clay Festival, October 27 & 28 in Gruene, Tx just outside of New Braunfels. Over 60 potters displaying and giving workshops. Raku firing demonstrations.
Admission free. A great festival if you want to enjoy Texas in the fall.

Just had to "toot my horn" a little, really proud of this little piece. Laguna Speckled Buff, Potter Choice 3 coats of Toumaline over 3 coats of Deep Firebrick brushed on. Could be a bean pot?? gumbo pot !! individual peach cobbler !! or maybe a cheese grits pot !! The handle is hollow and raised in a method that Simon Leach shows on a video.  P1000415.JPG (105.22K)
