I had the first firing of 2012 last week before NYC trip.  The result was very good.

I could not come up a good decal idea for the teapot 26.  I was hoping two circles turning to green after oxidation firing in the electric kiln, but not.  I made the same shape and fired it last week. I like it a lot better.

Time flew by.  This is fourth annual studio open house. I have two firing done and lots of fresh potteries, lots of earring holders, teapots, bowls, and more.  I will clean up and set up the studio and some baking tomorrow.

I loaded the kiln last week, but strong winds were expected until Tuesday.  Then, I was checking the forecast on Monday night around 9pm, found that Tuesday is again windy.  I wound up firing the kiln Monday night. over night.  It was very claim and quiet night, perfect for the firing.  Tuesday, there was no winds, of course.

I opened the kiln today, and another good firing.  The refractory clay – sagger held up well.  Here is teapot 28 to 30.
