Salt Glaze Firing at MCCC - 2007

Had the good luck to get to add a few pieces to help fill the kiln for a salt glaze firing. As an unofficial "fly on the wall" his participation was limited and haphazard, but Ye Olde Photographer did get a few shots of some of the activities. Unfortunately, YOP missed some of the most essential steps -- like adding salt! But he did get a few shots of some of the results. (And immodestly shows his three in studio shots at the end.)
