Our kiln!

When it finally arrived was one of the most exciting days I've had in awhile - try not to judge me for that. It's just that I'd been waiting a long time for it and I was so tired of firing metal clay with a tiny butane torch. This kiln has already saved me a huge amount of work and while I'm still figuring out the right temperatures and firing times, once I get the hang of things it will be much more efficient.
Here's a pic from my latest fire. What I especially love about these little Paragon kilns is the fact you can use them at home. I have mine out on my covered balcony. Much better than inside since I'd forgotten how much kilns smell when they're firing (my parents are potters and I grew up above a pottery warehouse.)
