Loading the Wood-fired Kiln

We're loading the wood-fired kiln today, a day after our eastern earthquake, and we'll be firing Friday, a day before Hurricane Irene is predicted to hit the North Carolina coast.

We're loading a shelf of shino glazed pots toward the back of the kiln and decided to spray some ash onto the pots for some added effect.
