21. A Kiln Opening of surprise, sheer delight & a touch of uncertainty on my first ever commission!

This kiln opening was one I was so nervous about but equally excited as it was not only my first commission, but it was for my adorable Mum and Dad. This meant a lot for me to get it right. The key focus of this kiln load was to hold two shallow dishes (one large and one medium). Any remaining space I used on some bisque pieces I glazed to add in the mix. Little did I know that these would blow me away too! My YouTube video "20. Glaze Session on my first commission set for my Mum and Dad - No pressure!!" shows my whole process, application and all the pieces in this kiln load. Trying to visualise how something will fire, the glaze movement and will it run all over the kiln shelf definitely played on my mind this time! Two of these pieces from this opening did result in a 're-glaze & re-fire' a couple of days later. Check out for a follow up You-Tube "22. Kiln Opening - The Re-Fire!" Question is - which pieces needed to be re-fired? Was it the right decision? Or did I make a massive mistake? #Kilnopening #farforestceramics #myfirstcommission #wheelthrownpottery #novicepotter #decisionsdecisionsdecisions #claylove #maycoglazes @maycocolors
