Public Art Bridge Pier/end of Week 3

We accomplished a lot this week. Almost 230 of the 380 tiles are done. Elements in the kiln were finally replaced for 208 voltage. I did a test of glazes today. To expedite firing we are using a one-fire process at cone 5. We are only glazing the recessed part of the tiles so I am also running an experiment to see if we can stack the tiles in the kiln. My concern is if there will be enough oxygen circulating. So I am looking forward to opening the kiln tomorrow morning.
