I made an error yesterday. Programmed the kiln incorrectly. Fatal error.
This guy now looks like -
Ugh.
This one is in the pile too.
And this one… and other one I didn’t photograph.
But many things did survive. Gotta look on the bright side!
I know exactly what I did. I pushed these pieces trying to get them ready for the event next weekend. They were close to dry and probably would have survived had I not programmed the kiln incorrectly. I realized my error around 1000 degrees – too late. So….
Back to the proverbial drawing board. Some of the boxes can be saved. One large box was injured by an exploding Greyhound. The masks, tiles and platter survived.
On to glazing the surviving work.
Win some, lose some.

Oh Sarah, I am *so* sorry.
Indeed hard to take, so much beautiful work. I hope you can salvage a lot from it. Ugh, just awful. Lots of hugs.

Thanks, Robin. Usually these things don’t get me down, but this one… I really, really liked the pieces! Thanks much.
Dang it! What a bummer. Too bad you can”t make a piece out of the pieces!
That sucks! That first pic looks like artifacts found in a pyramid during an archaeological dig.
OH No!!!
I hope you will be as easy on yourself as you were with your hounds when they broke your large sculpture. I was just astounded at how well you handled that!
Cris
Those pieces were so lovely!!
Noooooooooooooooo!!! I”m so sorry! All that beauty and hard work destroyed.
