Every year I promise myself that I won't fire in July again but every year I'm not quite organized enough to have all the summer stock ready by the end of June. So we fired yesterday with 2 thunderstorms (one little one and one major) and a high of 28 C. This kiln gets really, really hot and after the last firing in June when I thought I was going to have a stroke I decided drastic measures were required. So we filled the clay mixing horse trough with our icy well water and when it got to be too much I just climbed in and left Wayne to stoke. I think it was the best firing ever.
