Each firing requires weeks of preparation, about 2 cords of wood, and 36 hours of firing time until we reach Cone 10 holding the kiln at 2220 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_TNs6ENEpizU/Rqpb46LiqiI/AAAAAAAAAAc/LNA-Lvu-AtI/s1600-h/Woodfire-Vase-w-Handles.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_TNs6ENEpizU/Rqpb46LiqiI/AAAAAAAAAAc/LNA-Lvu-AtI/s400/Woodfire-Vase-w-Handles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091983361944234530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_TNs6ENEpizU/RqpbmqLiqhI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JzD5_5-pcZ0/s1600-h/Temoku-Woodfire-Bottle---Ja.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_TNs6ENEpizU/RqpbmqLiqhI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JzD5_5-pcZ0/s400/Temoku-Woodfire-Bottle---Ja.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091983048411621906" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /></div>Vernon Creek Galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915567811912952278noreply@blogger.com
