Guy Fawkes




2010 Guy Fawkes with a Raku firing







I am hoping someone is going to tell some stories to go with these images or supply some dates! 

 November 2007

Bottle Kiln
Made with alternate bricks and wine bottles
and roughly corbled to give a basic arch shape.
The firing was by a single LBG burner inserted
in the base. When the bottles began to soften
great fun was had in blowing them up through
their tops. This created interesting bubbles
inside the kiln and on popping would run down
the bricks like toffee.
The kids loved poking a steel rod into the melting
glass and pulling long threads (up to 6m) through
the bottle necks,

A reduction firing. 

Do you remember being instructed to run around and collect grass to put on the fire and create a good reduction atmosphere?
