Scenes from an unloading

Some pictures Denise took as we unloaded the kiln Friday night. A generally very good firing, though we're still bothered by a streak of oxidation, this time along the left door jamb, and extending across the door at the level of the thermocouple. Fewer pots lost than last time, but, frustratingly, three of five colanders. I'm gonna be drilling holes again soon.

Fully baked

And the piece-de-resistance, the piece I was stressing most about: Clever Girl, ready to come out of the kiln.

And then there's this picture. Think I should send it to Denise's book arts group.
