Wondering what to do when small glazed pieces roll off the second shelf onto the floor of the kiln? Get your long cooking chopsticks out and pick up the escaped pieces without unloading the shelf. I always knew all that
hashi practice in Japan would come in handy.

I had to devise an angled sweeping tool out of pipe cleaners to get the one that rolled under the bottom shelf. Luckily we had a lot of leftover pipe cleaners after Larson Gallery's Santa's Workshop event.

Today I unloaded my first batch of glazed (as in, shiny) work. Now I get to start putting the pieces together. The glaze fired work includes the start of four pieces: a bike fork base, most of one whole stacked piece, most of one asymmetrical piece that is scaring me a bit with its lopsidedness, and a smaller piece that needs to be refired.
