Cut tiles waiting for final treatment

Yesterday it was a new record on the amount of made tiles, 99! Today wasn´t that bad either.
I couldn´t have better assistants, it would not be possible to have everything going so well and with such a speed without them. Big up to Ance and Tiia!

After the tiles have dried to skin dry, they need to be cut. Of course before the bisque they need a sponge treatment as well.

Tiles drying. Some of them are turned around so the drying keeps even, to prevent bending.

I´m not so used to work with earthenware and this clay doesn´t even have any shamot in it.
The tiles need to be apparently very dry before firing, so it might take until weekend before we get the first firing going. We´ll see.
