Firing the Olsen Cross-Draught kiln

I am taking part in a firing of the Cross Draught kiln at Guldagergaard - it is now the second night of the firing and the temperature is evening out throughout the kiln: cones are falling as they should, we have just had an "Open Evening" by the kiln for local residents, about 70 people came by to see the fun. I have a half shift tonight from midnight to 3am as the two people on the shift are relatively in-experienced firers.

Meanwhile, in the studio,Hikaru Nakata continues to throw his wonderful teapots.

He is going to exhibit them in Butik for Borddækning in Copenhagen in November.
