Start her up

So i thought I had better get the ball rolling so i decided to load up a kiln with some powder fusings to then pick up hot later. I think i may have made a couple of stupid mistakes but we shall see...



I think what it might be better to do is make them in reverse to what I did that way the pick up can be from the kiln shelf and then it doesnt matter if you get any kiln shelf on it...duh. Seems so simple in the light of day. Also I think it may be better to think about using them in pieces rather than a whole roll up. Might get some nicer patterning that way.


And heres Anne making her frit. Looks pretty fun actually. She just gathers up from the furnace then drains off into a bucket of water to make all these crazy squirly bits from holding them up high. A good work out for the guns.. Then she smashes them all up to make the most beautiful powdery frit, almost like a powdered sugar.


And then theres these...


But these are the most impressive...
