d fired off. I'm always relieved when my repairs haven't created any larger problems. The repair was strait forward enough, but even something as simple as replacing a broken element is really hard on this old kiln. The soft brick walls the elements are embedded into are very quick to crumble and I've been eyeballing a switch or two, wondering when I'm going to get to learn how to test and fix them as well.
I'm happy with how this load came out. The teapots came out really really nicely, and the yunomi cups, with their thickly slipped hakeme surfaces under a translucent dark amber glaze, came out beautifully.
These are gorgeous!
I started pushing a load of small teabag trivets through the studio again. I was surprised at how well these were received last fall. I've sold and given away all of last years load of trivets and I've already gotten enough seasonal requests for these little dishes to make me begin creating a larger inventory for my fall sales.

There were a few 14 pounders in on this load too. These are some of the large sectional thrown canisters that I've been working on lately. I've I needed a few of theses larger canisters for Novembers Potters Guild sale. This is the scale I love to work in. It's taken over a year to start getting consistent results that I can begin to count on. Now I can more freely invest the time the time necessary to create more elaborate surfaces with out fretting over major defects.
These aren't the most exciting glazes, but they are handsomely warm. Besides... they're a great "fit" for the recycled clay body that I used to practice throwing these canisters.
