early Spring anc am fust about back to where I began, with

a solid wall approximately 5 bricks plus one silicon carbide
shelf of 1%" thickness supported on the 4&& row of bricks.

At first the bottom was cooler than above, so I opened some
holes, but exaggerated and hac to fill in except for near
the front, but gradually I am decreasing this, too. The last
bisque was very good in both chambers, while the glost was
satisfactory of most glazes, though with one particular
Qlaze I still have some bubbling. Chuns, celadons and reds
are good.

My apologies to Michael Ferretta for ruining his poem in
the last issue. I left out one line and changed the meaning
of another line by using a word from the missing line.

Here it is as it should have been:

I hope that I
am true to the clay
trust my eye
Glaze with EASE
FIRE with strength
heat the wind
and warm my heart.
