I know the feeling Dawn. Patience is not just a virtue, its absolutely imperative in pottery and its my biggest challenge… not to chance firing ‘probably dry’ greenware, not to open the kiln when it is ‘probably’ cool enough. Aargh. Sometimes I can’t bear it. Got my a glaze firing on this morning, kiln packed to the roof. Mostly my students work which i fret over more than my own. So here’s hoping for no mishaps and no power cuts as rain is brewing and our little country town often experiences power outages at the first hint of rain.
