Teaching the kiln cookie class in 2 weeks, and I want to make a big impression. - Do you have any stories/pics of glaze-running disasters? - Any near-misses (preferably saved by a cookie)? - Tips and tricks? - Preferred shapes / clays? - Kiln wash or no? please repost! #pottersofBlueSky

We have community kilns at the makerspace, which means both experienced and new potters fire there. And we teach 10-15 beginners’ classes (100-150 students) a month, always full. They need an appropriate cookie when they put a piece on the glaze shelf, so I feel like we should teach them WHY.

“Cookies" sound like a special kind of product that you need to buy, when I usually use stoneware I’d put in reclaim if it'd already dried out. If you share stories/pics for me to use, LMK if you *don’t* want photo credit links, or don’t want the photo distributed - I’ll share the handout here ❤️
