Once-Firing
Sorry for the long story but I’m in a pottery pickle.
I fired 90 pieces of 05 pieces (kid art) in an old elementary school kiln that hadn’t been used in about 7 years. For the bisque fire it started up nicely and the custodian kept his eye on it for the first couple hours.
I then glazed them all and fired it up again. Next day realized the kiln never completed.
I’m worried the same thing happened to the bisque firing and the kiln isn’t working.
I now have 90 glazed (possibly unbisqued) pieces.
I’m moving them to a new kiln and my plan is to try to just fire them once.
The pieces are very dry, handbuild, low fire clay.
What are my chances this will work and what are the chances I’m going to disappoint 90 kids?
