Finalmente!

We have built the first layer of our new wood, salt kiln! It's a beauty- I have to look at it with proud momma eyes! As soon as I work the kinks out of my cameras, I will begin posting our process and progress! I hope the kinks get out soon, b/c classes are starting back up.....ehhh. I may link a new blog to it. Cheers!

I'm on a kiln!

Soooo- this semester I've the the arduous yet exhilarating task of building in a kiln- a task I put myself up to. I have absolutely loved it so much, that I don't want to go back into a studio. I've been building in the (Vatagama) Anagama Mike Vatalaro and students built. although I wish I was there at the time- we've been so lucky that we will be capable of having a similar-ish experience this summer building an addition- which will be designed by all of us and built to the likewise- which will be salt-wood-kiln....sweeeeet. Anywhoo- we are firing up now, a student/teach only kiln just before heading off to NCECA- hopefully upon return, we will open it up to some sweet surprises! I'm going to post building images and then finished....ehhh...that's a huge hope! HA! We'll see soon- cheers!")
