It was a pretty good firing! Shinos were great! The last firing, reduction was off and shinos pale.

Two of my apprentice "Mihon" or examples, to copy to develop craftskill. They were in the greenware state and I fired them just before I graduated to preserve them.

Pretty good firing! I may have reached cone 12. Not bad for a little Olympic updraft kiln.)
Will see when I unload the bottom of the kiln.

I put this memoryon my Substack page:

They say children don’t have memories before the age of 3. I can prove them wrong from my own experiences. My mother verified this memory, in one of the last conversations we had..

When I was five or 6, I had a crush on "an older woman" Deanna (She was 6 or 7) who lived on the other side of the block. Across the street from her house was built a new sledding hill. They piled up dirt that had clay embedded in it.

We took buckets to the hill and gathered clay, that we wetted down (with her mother's help) and we made stuff with it, to bake in her mother's oven. I asked how we would color the clay, and her mother said she had white shoe polish we could use to color the clay. I had just watched Moby Dick on T.V., where Gregory Peck starred as Captain Ahab. I decided, since we could color our sculpture with white, I would make Moby Dick. (yes, even back then, I payed attention to my materials!)

;) I colored the whale shape with the white shoe polish and it was fired in the oven. It came out really awesome! That was the first thing I ever made in clay.
