Wow! What a day!
My first ever kiln has arrived. It turned up on a pallet, wrapped in enough plastic to survive a flood, and I just stood and stared at it for a good minute before I did anything useful.
Meet the new arrival
She’s a Cromartie H46, a top-loading electric kiln all the way from Stoke-on-Trent. And she’s purple! I couldn’t have picked better myself.
She fires up to around 1300°C, plugs into an ordinary socket, and has a clever wifi controller so I can check on a firing from my phone. I’ll almost certainly still hover.
What it means for the monsters
Having my own kiln at home means I can fire far more often. More makes, more glaze experiments, and more little friends heading your way. Making my dreams come true ✨
Every day’s a school day
I’ll be honest, I’ve never had a kiln of my own before, so this is a whole new adventure. There’s a lot to learn about how she likes to behave, and I’m sure there’ll be a few surprises along the way!
First in will be a fresh batch of Mini Monster Moods as a test run, along with some new glazes I’ve been dying to try. Fingers and toes crossed, and a little prayer to the kiln gods.
Thank you to everyone who has ordered, liked, shared and cheered me on. You’re giving this girl her dream.
Big Love 💖
