Last night, I decided to make a big vase. As big as will fit in my tiny kiln at least. The interior of my kiln is 23 inches high. I vent it through the bottom which means I have to put tiny posts and a shelf in the bottom so I don’t block the vent hole. This leaves me less than 22 inches. At leather hard this vase is about 22 inches tall. It’s going to be a tight fit!

I hope to buy a larger kiln this year, but even then it likely won’t be more than 27 inches tall. I’d like to work on making some really large work, but I’ll have to find a place to fire them (not to mention actually SELL them). Tomorrow Christy will work here magic with the stylus.
