Let’s roll into the weekend with a new video from our ceramic artist interview series! This week the artists talk about how we would determine if our wood firing was a success or not. For some, this was one of their first firings, for others they have had many years of wood kiln firing experience. It’s fun to hear everyone’s expectations as they wait expectantly for the kiln to finish its magic.

Thanks again to , and !
