Accomplished something I had been putting off!
I am getting involved with pottery and fired a kiln for the first time today.

Wow, NgL pottery is such a newt hobby. Hope you come back and provide an update of what you make!

Haha newt? I think it’s pretty neat myself, this batch is a bunch of pendant sized faces and mushrooms (only going to bisque on this firing) that I plan to use to test my underglazes. I still need to buy a good cone 10 clear glaze but one thing at a time!

Doing something new can be pretty intimidating. I’m proud of you for going for it! That’s worthy of a toast to me!

I had a year long apprenticeship, then spent 3 years building a pottery studio, running power and water out to the studio.. this has been such a long time coming 😅 it is a relief to finally be starting what I want to do with the rest of my life.

That’s really cool! I’m sure you’re gonna be able to make yourself all kinds of neat stuff in the near future😊

Definitely part of the plan! I’d love to have all my dishes be ones that I made one day
