Filling the kiln with charcoal at the end of the firing was becoming a bit stressful for me. It’s a final touch that has to be done smoothly and as quickly as possible, so that the kiln doesn’t get to cold as much. This whole operation takes place under intense heat and flames, which is a bit of an adrenaline experience in itself… Anyway, with each new firing I am slowly experiencing it and learning what to prepare for.. And this time I was even surprised how smoothly everything went. Happy about that! 🙏 Now the kiln is slowly cooling down and I’ll open it in a few days. Can’t wait to see the results!

I’m just finishing work on the next batch and slowly preparing the pots for the first firing. You can look forward to the boilingware! As always there will be some boiling kettles and sidehandles with alcohol stoves. And for the first time a couple of charcoal stoves and cauldrons...

After some time I got the desire to make a couple of hohins again. They were fired in a recent firing, but before letting them go to the world I wanted to test them first.

After some time I got the desire to make a couple of hohins again. They were fired in a recent firing, but before letting them go to the world I wanted to test them first. Have to say I am happy with them. The pour is fast and smooth. And the wide opening is handy and provide plenty of space, which is good especially for loose leaf tea…
