Ooolala some gorgeous glaze combinations. Wow that black aventurine sure is a magnificent glaze, the combination on the first mug is stunning. Love the green colour that cactus produces. So many splendid pieces. Well ✔ done. Just such a fabulous job in this kiln load. Excellent work for someone so new to this glorious hobby. Ciao Happy 🌞 potting 😊
I definitely vacuum my kiln before a glaze fire you don't want any tiny bits flying around but also they could melt wherever they fall next firing so it's probably good for keeping shelves clean. Yes, cones on every level, if you find they are different between levels you can adjust what pieces you put where. Once you know though, it's really just in case of emergency, if something goes wrong and you didn't have them in you will never know! Sometimes I forget though or only put them in the middle. I liked seeing your Aventurine i have been thinking about getting it, as it reacts so nicely with oatmeal & HF but I already have the cosmic tea dust that i hardly use so I don't know how different they are. Eventually though I think i might get evvvvery glaze ever lol!😂 Nice work i like seeing the combos on the speckled clay🎉
Great kiln opening thank you. I put cones on top and bottom shelves only. Also if you the cones in order of heat ie cooler at front and hotter at the back they would melt onto each other. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work 😊
I wasn’t going to buy anymore glazes for awhile, but now I want Cactus after seeing your results. My muddy waters is completely different then yours, I put on 3 coats. I don’t put cones in every time just once in awhile. When I do, I put them on all shelves. Your face was so funny on the Taylor Swift comment 😅
That’s a very good suggestion Shawn writing on the tops, as when I’m looking for the one glaze it’s always the last one on the shelf 😆 I love the intro, but maybe not the overhead shots 🤣 What a successful firing 😍 I’ve just setup an Etsy shop, but I don’t have a UA-cam channel, I’m still frightened! But having presents on UA-cam must make more sales?
Hi Shawn, great opening. Put cones on all shelves to ensure that you are getting even firings, I.e. same temp on all shelves. It will alert you to possible issues over time.
Hi Shawn, Use cones on every shelf for each firing program until you know how your kiln is firing. Record the results for future reference. With your kiln if you wanta Cone 5 then put those on top and full cone 6 in the rest of the kiln. Alternatively you can add a shelf right at the top to radiate heat down to bring up the top shelf.
Hello, you had some great pieces come out, grats. I see you're having cups sticking to the cookies. If you had kiln wash to the cookies, they will come off easier. It's something I add to my bisque cookies and it is a life savior. I have added it to non bisque, and it works, but not quite as well.
The cone packs I put on cookies and I put them on top and bottom shelf. I find the bottom and top fire differently and I try to put glazing reactions I want on the different temp shelfs.
Hi Shawn! I wish I had kevin ti do my editing! 😂 Oooo...I don't have that Black Adventurine! Cactus is an all time favourite if mine, so reliable! I also vacuum my kiln. Great unload
Mr. Reid, whenever there is blue, it wonderful! 💙💙💙 I love the cups, they are all different, they are unique!

Nice combos! I loved the cactus and blue rutile, I also love blues and greens. Thanks for sharing!❤
Thanks for watching!
That honey flux/black aventurine mug! 🤩🤩🤩
I haven't used muddy waters but I think kim said it looks best on a flat surface like a plate

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that!
Adventure-een, I think. The drips look like tree silhouettes. Pretty dang cool!
Except there’s no D.

For me having a present on UA-cam = zero sales. ..

Thanks for the info makes sense ..thanks for watching!!!

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try!
Oh you might be onto something using the card holders as test tiles!! You could sell the ones that you don’t like. Lol
Oh , fantastic ideas !

Oh, I just heard you mention that you put kiln wash on your cookies. 😁
