Hehehehe...<br />I have 5 classes of 25 students... 55 minutes per class gives them time to re-wedge their clay, and let them feel somewhat productive. It took a week and a half for their pinch pots, and another 2 weeks for their coil projects. Now they are working on their slab boxes. All projects are under 4.5 inches high - kiln furniture restraints and all.<br /><br />Oh! By the way, what glaze would you recommend for a VERY dark chocolate brown clay, with a high iron content? IT turns all my glazes to a matte mud color. So far I have only had success with smoking them black like Maria Martinez.

I don't know... I think the best par...Hehehe... I don't know... I think the best part is emptying out the kiln. You get to see if the results are what you expected - or something totally un-expected! It's kind of like waiting to open Christmas gifts.... I can't wait to open the kiln to see what's inside! <br /> Loading on the other hand... I soon realize that I haven't produced very many pieces, when stacked up with all the student's work. *Sighs*<br /> Oh well, that's the breaks when you are teaching 125 students a day... At least I get to hit the wheel during lunch! Ever notice, though, how fast 45 minutes goes by on the wheel?Robert Younghttp://www.robertyoung.mosaicglobe.comnoreply@blogger.com
