Last year, we had a Memorial Day firing in the Swell; this year we were on Wood Hill. Last year, all the pieces were in pieces; this year none of them were. VSO is becoming skilled at making primitive pottery.
Probably the biggest change from last year to this year is that we have learned how to make the fire hot. Last year, we may have been achieving two or three hundred degrees Fahrenheit; this year we are at eight-fifty. Last year, we were guessing; this year we are using the pyrometer. VSO remains dissatisfied with the color: The black on white was not as expected. I think they look beautiful.
