My Skutt 1027 Kiln finally arrived!!! These things take so long to make and ship after ordering but I am so happy it’s finally here. All of the projects I have worked on in 2026 haven’t been fired yet so I will have some full kiln loads.

I didn’t post about buying a new kiln because I knew it would take forever and didn’t want to make everyone else wait like I had to. Once I get it hooked up and a test firing done we will be up and running!

This is something I have wanted to try for awhile. I’ve never made one but I know people that have and I am very excited about this one and who I am making it for!

My shelves are filling up with pieces waiting to be fired in the kiln! I wish I had a newer kiln so I could start making more pottery and have consistent glazes 👀…

Awaiting to be fired in the kiln!

Some small cracks but I am hopeful it will hold up going from clay to ceramic.

Stay til the end for a surprise! 😂 This was my first ever Raku firing and it was an amazing experience for my last night of class at the DSM Art Center. In short you fire bisque ware in a special kiln that ramps temperature very quickly, then at peak temp you pull the piece out and can apply a number of techniques. Some chose to plunge their pieces into trash cans full of combustible materials and smother the oxygen by covering them in wet towels. With glazes applied it can give very unique and varying effects. I chose to do no glaze and instead burn horse hair onto the surface of the vessels which gives it a one of a kind, wiggly pattern. I used horse hair from my grandparents horses and then gave them to them as a gift!
