Kiln Firing and a zombie shirt

This bisque firing is fired to cone 04 (which is a little hotter than normal due to the fact that we normally bisque fire which is cone 08). See the chart below for specific firing temperatures. We will be working in what is considered a low fire range. Although the work has dried for some time I candled the kiln for 12 hours due to the thickness of the handbuilt pieces to drive off any moisture that may remain in the sculptures. Trilla's zombie tshirt she wore to class will certainly bring good luck to the kiln.
