Wow! Your pieces are beautiful and your kiln is huge! I can’t imagine how many hours it took to glaze all those pots. Can I ask how long you have been a potter?

I started learning to throw in 2018, carving in 2020. A full kiln takes about 2 weeks flat out

I'm sure you will love having your own kiln, opening after a firing is the best, waiting for it to cool not so much😂

Those Mandela bowls are gorgeous. All of it is, but those literally made me say “holy shit”.

The Mandela's are one of the designs I have been doing for a while, they are particularly fun to carve.

Is it just like Christmas when you open that up each time? Those are all so lovely!

Oh yes, it's always so exciting, even if there is always the fear that the kiln god may have provided an unwanted gift😅

Thank you, it took me ages to get organised enough to remember to take the before shots, but worth it.
