We were pleased with our first gas firing – so excited at the unloading of it that both Deb and I totally forgot to take any photographs – however, there are enough for you to get the general idea.

Now, we have enough information about the firings and the glazes  to work with more confidence and we need to as we are running out of time.  Next week we take a mold workshop from a master mold-maker (molds are big here as many people training in ceramics go in to industry so there is a real emphasis on this technique).  But, in three weeks, we will finish our time at ICS and this is not without some feeling of sadness already – this has been a wonderful place to reinvent what I have been doing…
