I wish there was a better location for it, but it's been in the basement corner for years and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. When I get through this round of firing, I'm putting clay on hold until spring!Charmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353596475166412338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722452926184530388.post-78643284809670061592014-01-19T10:07:09.767-08:002014-01-19T10:07:09.767-08:00Ahh this makes me cringe, I am so so so very glad ...Ahh this makes me cringe, I am so so so very glad that the 7th graders took it in stride, but I can imagine how stressing it would be, for you, to have to tell them that their work didn't make it. Thank heavens for the resilience of children!!! The pieces looked great though and I am sure second time around they will be even better.

I'm testing the kiln today and hopefully it will be working. If not, our maintenance guys are amazing and should be able to trouble shoot and fix it.Charmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353596475166412338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722452926184530388.post-13935923027027881012014-01-15T20:15:38.356-08:002014-01-15T20:15:38.356-08:00Hi Charmaine

I have never seen anything like that in 3D.Rina k6art.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221543895982147381noreply@blogger.com
