Got stressed out and decided to take a random camping trip where I was able to cool down and do a bit more design work. I have my first bowl built and waiting for firing. Recieved a lovely email from Potterycrafts which was incredibly helpful as to information about my grandfather's kiln. Just need to do a bit of research into exact temperature ramps for bisque firings, but I'm getting very close to having my first bowl completed and I'm loving the way my designs are headed.
