never ending learning curve...

such is the way I see life...sometimes it feels like "never ending f***in" story' but most of the times it is quiet  an enjoyable journey:)
At the end of september I finaly put my new gas kiln together and now I m slowely learnig how to work it out...shure, firing in electric kilns was damm comfortable-programing it, pressing the start button and going elsewhere doing whatever...
here its completely different story alltogether;)
Today I did my second bisq firing...the first one was "blowing-up job;)"...obeviousely I started too fast and blew two large sculptures up....oh well-shit happens;)
Today I was more careful and didnt hear anything exploding while firing.....Tomorrow I  ll know for sure what happened inside of  the kiln;)

here is the picture taken some hours ago;)
....
The following morning
all great:) 4 larger pieces fired well!I m delighted:)It s time to start thinking about colors and stoneware firing. Certainly I ll need 33kg gas bottle for that one....
