Torch Firing Enamels

I am taking a class with Kathryn Osgood at COA.  Great class, learning a lot but I am a bit frustrated not to have a kiln at home to keep work moving when not in class.  I am experimenting with torch firing and found this posting on Ganoksin which I found helpful.

I have also added the url to our great metal working sites page.

I have created some domes that have taken on the look of stone.  I think they are really cool.

  1. I have purchased an Olympic Front loading kiln with a guillotine lift from Warm Glass in Clemmons, NC. It is supposed to be finished being built by today and then shipped by freight.
    I am so excited! It is all Kathryn's fault for turning me on to enameling.

  2. I have had my kiln for a week and fired it twice. I really like it, especially after reprograming it to hold 1500 for 1 hour instead of 1 minute :-}
