I was in Brevard, NC during July for a week long loading and firing with Judith Duff and John Dix. John was visiting the United States from his home in Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

We had a crew of twelve to simultaneously fire Judith's anagama kiln and train kiln. Loading began on the afternoon of the 14th and preheat was over night. The train kiln fired off Friday evening and was reduction cooled. The anagama finished Saturday morning and was fired with apple wood as the primary fuel. Great results were obtained from both kilns. Below are some of the pieces I had come out:
TRAIN KILN
Sake Cup
Sake Cup
Tea Bowl
Sake Flask
Vases
ANAGAMA KILN
Sake Cups
Yunomi
SOLD
Sake Flask
Vase
These pieces are so full of vitality and beauty. You said loading began on the 14th (which appears to have been a Sat) and the train finished off on a Friday. Do you remember when you began firing the kilns? I would like to know how long the firing of the train kiln took. Thank you for the posting it is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteSorry I realize I was looking back at the wrong month thinking August instead of July. The 14th was on a Wednesday.
