As you may know I'm working on teapots for the Sydney Teapot Show and also made teabowls and a tea canister to match...
Plus I made some tiles to show how my Deco, Walkers and Blackwattle underglazes look after firing...
Well after bringing them all inside to be able to dry them fully, taking them back and packing the kiln to do their first bisque firing.... wait for it.... They Don't All Fit!
BOther!
Fortunately the people I used to do my firing with, Port Hacking Potters Group are a generous lot and Jitka is a generous soul.
She is firing a bisque at the club today and was happy to fit mine in with hers... yay! thank you Jitka.
What that means though is that I'll be doing two glaze firings...
Not to worry as I'll have enough shelves now that I have (with help from my handy hubby) retrieved the shelf that had a glaze run...
Well now it looks like this...
Kiln is running, the sun came out to help the solar panels along and hopefully I'll unpack, glaze and refire during the coming week...
See you over on Facebook :)

good luck with your firings, I have often thought of making some discs to fire my pots on but so far haven't had too many runs but there is always a first time.
Good friends will always come through for you. Hope you will post pictures of the finished pots!
Hi Linda thank you and yes I've started making some 'setters' to set those possible runny pots onto in future.
Hi Smartcat Yes I'll be posting pics once they are glazed and fired again :)
That’s sweet of them, I hope all your firings come out well and that the show is a success.
Hi Lori
Thank you yes the firings went well and so far I've sold one of the three teapots... fingers crossed for the other two :)
