ANAGAMA LOADING : DAY TWO



yes, we hv survived the second day of loading. which was much easier than the first day. everyone had a rhythm of things: all the shelves were sorted out, the wad clay was getting ready, shelves painted with kiln wash, bricks and posts were ready, we had the kiln plan.... the biggest event of the day was loading ray's big sculptures which basically took the whole of the morning. we have loaded the shelves after the first fire box and after the second fire box. the first fire box was done yesterday and the second one will be done tomo. the other highlight was lola catching a bird (and eating it too). other than that the loading went very smooth. we even had time to make some coffee (thanks to adil) and do some gossip session in between. the pots look beautiful, all one top of one another. they will remain there for nearly two weeks now. just one more day of loading, one more day my hands are going to smell of rice husk! by the time we finished by seven me and veena had this sudden urge to eat veal chops at daily bread,and all of us ended up there for dinner...
tomo loading starts at nine. five more shelves to go and the second fire box...
