One of the things about creating with ceramic clay is that it needs to be fired in a kiln to finish it. And as fate would have it right now, BOTH of my kilns are off the operational list.
The larger kiln needed a new power cord and had to be re-wired. I think I made a mistake because it tripped the breaker when I tried turning it on. I have the wiring diagram now and will need to take a closer look at it.
The smaller kiln is firing things too hot. That is something I have not had a problem with before. I may need to replace the kiln sitter tube (it is cracked) and sensor rod. Both things I cannot afford to replace at this time. In a couple of weeks when I get paid again, maybe. Other bills take priority at the moment.
I am looking forward to getting my hands back into the clay, but not until I know that I can fire them.
Meanwhile, I am working on designing cards for classes at The Mercantile.
Keep cool in this hot weather and let me know you were here.
