June 8 Big Magic Anagama:
We will begin loading Saturday October 11-12, 2025, and finish on Monday and light the kiln around 12 noon. There is single fired work and some of it is very large so getting through quartz inversion is slow the first day and a half. On Wednesday the stoking and temperature begins to increase. The firing will end sometime on Friday night or Saturday with finishing the soda kiln off. We use two pounds of soda and get great coverage throughout the kiln.
New to the process is the requirement of cookies if you are glazing your work. Cookies are shallow discs of clay that go under the work to keep glaze off the shelves. This saves the shelves, a lot of time grinding AND your work. We do not provide cookies, you must bring your own.
Option 3: $90/cubic ft.
Requirements:
- Work must be ready to load by noon on October 11, 2025.
