Juniata's Anagama Spring 2009

The photos above are courtesy of Nicole Denny, a student of Juniata College during the firing that took place in April. We started loading on Thursday the 9th and lit the fire at 6pm on Sunday evening/afternoon. While still quite warm we unloaded three days later. The firing went well. We could have maintained a longer soaking pattern once achieving cone 10 but we did not so the front of the kiln got a little rough but the heavy ember masses that were built up provided many jewels scattered on the floor.
