Getting loaded

[offcntr]

Loading a firing is a whole panoply of feelings. Oh no, there's too much stuff! Oh no, there's not enough! Where do I start? What goes in next? Is this level? Why are the stilts all different sizes? Did I get all the orders in? I still need this for Market! Is there room for one more pot?

Always amazes me that we're able to go from this--

--to this--

In roughly six hours, including lunch.

Biggest challenge? Estimating where the curve of the arch will be, and what pots will fit where, up on the top shelf.
