Bisqued it

I know this is not a very exciting photo but this is a documentation of my first bisque firing at the Draper Senior Center. It's all digital and so amazingly easy. It is even set-up with an Enviro vent and shutters that mysteriously opened to the outdoors when the temperature climbed over 1000 degrees.
Here are the finished pieces. The bowls have a nice ring to them when tapped and nothing crumbled. I definitely have to make some large notes to impress upon people who may find themselves wanting to open the kiln at the wrong time, how dangerous that could be for the pots....and them too. Those numbers flashing on the digital display are not the time of day....ie: 1230!!!
