Every time the kiln opens, it\u2019s exciting\u2014like unwrapping a gift when you don\u2019t exactly know what\u2019s inside. Especially now, with my new kiln, it feels like discovering everything all over again. How will the glazes react? How will the shapes behave with a different heat distribution? It\u2019s almost as if I\u2019m getting to know my work anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m incredibly happy with what came out of the kiln. The colors are rich and vibrant, the glazes have a beautiful depth, and the textures come alive beautifully. Some pieces really surprise me\u2014whether in shape, color, or simply by the presence they have. It remains an exciting process, because a new kiln requires patience and care. But that\u2019s exactly what makes it so fascinating: every firing is an opportunity to discover something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, I\u2019ll start working with test tiles to get even better control over the firing process. Because the better I understand the kiln, the more precisely I can work toward exactly what I have in mind\u2014or sometimes even something more beautiful than I expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
