First batch of ducks are taking their final trip in the kiln 🔥🔥
We started this process in December and are now so so close to the finish line!
We are excited to see how all these cuties will look after the magic of the firing process. The colors you see now won’t be the colors they turn into!!
Thank you to our wonderful friend and teacher Lori Clodfelter for coming out to help us load Sharon’s brand new kiln ❤️
