The kiln worked fine. This was an older piece that had been waiting inside the kiln. It was broken before I put it in, so I fired the two halves and put them together after. Duchamp used cracks in his work. it seemed a good idea.
I don’t glaze. But things look rather naked after firing. I used a few layers of urushi to give it some clothes. I’m trying different coatings for some of the other pieces.
