First Bisque!

Of course the round top loader isn´t optimal for firing square tiles but so what.

Yes, finally today the first tiles were bisque fired.

The drying process takes much more time than I would have thought, they need to be absolutely dry.

They dry without plastics in this old barn where the air is a bit humid and temperature low so they are left there for several days and in the final step they stay in a dryer over night.

While this has been waiting to happen we have made and finished up tiles, a lot. I have been too busy to write anything here, and anyways it´s about repeating the same phases over and over again.

All I can say is all the tiles will be done by the end of the week. Amazing. Still a lot of finishing work left to do, which takes as much time as the making of them.

I try soon to post here the final plan so you can all see how it will be, and there´s a revelation coming up, wait and see.

So tomorrow finally the glazing test are next on the line. I´m so well in the schedule that it almost makes me nervous.

The first set of fired tiles.. aren´t they beautiful?
