Why does Tony Hansen take months to unload his kilns?

Wednesday 10th June 2015

I love making pottery, but I love the technical side more. I searched for all the test specimens in this 2020 load of insight-live.com/glossary/125">cone 10 reduction ware first, then pushed it back in and forgot about it. For three months! I really anticipate the test results (I am developing and adjusting many of bodies and glazes at any given time). The data and pictures for them go into my account at insight-live.com, it enables me to compare the chemistry and physical properties of recipes and materials side-by-side. That teaches me which roads to abandon and which ones to pursue. My last kiln went back in for six weeks, so things are getting worse! If you are wondering, we use the C10RPL firing schedule.
