First firing of the kiln today. For some reason it was quite daunting to get on with it, but when it came down to it, it just needed the push of a button. Something about electricity and extreme heat (and the fear that I had trapped a small furry animal or spider in it - which I couldn't have, because I checked it an OCD number of times!).
Now waiting for it to cool down enough to open - it takes absolutely ages!
Away selling things in my home town tomorrow, so it will be exciting to be back on Friday and do some serious glass work.
