Hi Paul
I agree with Keith, it takes a while to get the results you're looking for. Don't give up!
Are you using the same clay body? You mentioned porcelain, which I abandoned because I had trouble getting nice flashing without using flashing slip...
Grates definitely help. Donovan Palmquist (my husband) uses sprung arch grates in his wood kilns. He'd be happy to show you plans/pics. donovan@kilnbuilders.com.
Did you say this is a kiln you fired for the first time? If so, my guess is that since your draw rings looked glassy before you added the salt, you may have a LOT more residual salt in this kiln. This, combined with adding more salt, probably took...
Wow, that is quite the line up. I can't wait. I hope to get lots of ideas. See you on Tues.

In addition to Colleen's great idea of meeting is the other salt/soda event Friday 10 April NCECA Connections 4:30 to 6:00pm in room 103. I invite everyone who is interested in salt and soda to see a short powerpoint featuring new stuff from aroun...

- It was great to meet you and Donovan at NCECA this year. I will be doing some tests on low fire soda in the next few weeks, and the information I got from you guys will come in helpful.
All the best,
Leanne Moe

Michael Kline said… - Hi Colleen.
I'm sorry I won't be at NCECA this year. Just can't afford the time and travel. I'm doing more workshops this year and will be taking time out for those. I do hope to meet you somewhere down the line, though! Thanks for being in touch. Have fun!

chuck stern said… - hi colleen,
thanks for saying hi and for the compliment. your work is wonderful - its nice to get to see a larger body of it. considering everything that was happening, i couldnt have been happier with the exhibit. im not involved with the packing and shipping so i dont know if you've recieved your package, but i do know that the work is moving along. im now putting together our first exhibit of the season - barbara knutson - we have been doing six a year. and im finally back to making pots. happy new year. chuck

John Dorsey said… - Colleen, Great new work - really love the form of the new pitcher. Have always liked your change in textures as it relates to form (the oval pitcher) but these latest ones seem more adventurous. Well done!

- It wasn't a matter of it being full (although it could be...), more that by the time I stumbled upon it, it was too late to make arrangements to go - I teach full time at a high school and wouldn't be able to get away. I seem to remember something happening at Truro - I will check the dates. Thanks so much!

- The bottles I fired with Chris Guston this last fall - great kiln makes even the most mundane of bottles look pretty good. Hoping to fire again with him fall 08. Josh DeWeese? Great opportunity for you!

- Hello Colleen, Thanks for your praise, it's always welcome. I do wood fire and I do use salt. I designed my kiln for soda, but haven't had that much success. So I have used salt instead. I hope that I can try Emily Murphy's method of introducing soda.

Emily Murphy said… - I have been having fun playing around on this site. It should be interesting to see what happens with it. I just put up a post about the group on my blog, so I'm curious to see if we get more people joining in.
I'm looking forward to trying out the wollastonite and lithium in my next firing!
