Day 65

Here is #Mug#65 - Glaze Firing

I am inexperienced when it comes to firing because I have always outsourced it, but for the very first time today, I fired a gas kiln with a Studio mate @markmartinarts. We will find out tomorrow if all went well.

I will provide a link here to the Ceramics network, which explains the firing process:

https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/daily/firing-techniques/electric-kiln-firing/firing-clay-lowdown-ceramic-firing-process/

Without going into more details, there is so much to learn about this process.

Here are the most common ways to fire ceramics:

A. Electric Kiln, which is very common these days
B. Glas Kiln
C. Wood Fire Kiln, the traditional way.

I am very inexperienced, and I am eager to learn about the firing process. I am also looking into getting a book on firing.
If any of my ceramic friends have any great suggestions, I am all ears.
