the little bits of glass are laid out on a clean white dishcloth
they have been washed so they will be free of finger marks and other impurities
tomorrow they are going to be carefully stacked this way and that and placed on the kiln shelf
i will carefully lower the kiln shelf into the kiln so as not to jiggle them out of place
i will close the lid
turn on the heat
crank it up to 1600 degrees
the little bits of glass will melt and fuse together and bring me all kinds of surprises
and then i will carefully control the heat as the cooling off and annealing processes take place
i am so excited
this will be my first firing all by myself !
