Yesterday as I was prepping to glaze I took a quick look at my kiln. One of arch bricks had finally broken in half. It had been hanging on by sheer will power during my last big bisque. Of course, I hadn't checked it until yesterday...smart move. I quickly called Bailey Pottery and they shipped off some fiberbond cement that arrived today. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to load up the kiln over the weekend like I had hoped. It's the first real repair that I have made to the kiln. I'm glad it went so smoothly. Here are some before and after pics....
As I was fixing it there was a whole lot of fluttering of wings going on. It seems as though I have a visitor in the kiln shed. Here's the new Kreeger Pottery kiln shed nest. As long as I don't get pooped on and nothing happens to the electrical going to my bisque kiln, who am I to evict anyone.

I have a swallow's nest in my kilnshed.I have to put a fan on them when I'm doing a firing, not only does it keep the smoke off them, but it ensures they're cooked all round!
ah....convection cooking at it's finest. i might have to try that.
